The SWPS method is improved by the addition of H. E. G. contractions for ge
nerating a more compact basis. An error in the definition of the internal f
ragment axis system used in our previous calculation is described and corre
cted. Fully coupled 6D (rigid monomers) VRT states are computed for several
new water dimer potential surfaces and compared with experiment and our ea
rlier SWPS results. This work sets the stage for refinement of such potenti
al surfaces via regression analysis of VRT spectroscopic data. (C) 1999 Ame
