According to Gaussian NEWS, Vol.3 No. 1:
"Like Gaussian 90 before it, Gaussian 92 offers a built-in interface to
Weinhold
and coworkers' Natural Bond Orbital program (NBO; included with Gaussian 92)
and Bouman and Hansen's RPAC program (available separately). Gaussian 92
supports
the latest releases of both programs: NBO 3.1 and RPAC 9.0.
...RPAC 9.0's primary new feature is support for second-order propagator methods
in the calculation of molecular properties, including the Second-Order
Polarization
Propagator method (SOPPA) of Odershede et. al., with appropriate modifications
for
localized orbitals (SOLO).
It's now much easier to call both NBO and RPAC from within Gaussian, via several
new keywords that may be included on the route card. The RPA keyword requests
an
RPAC run at the completion of the Gaussian 92 job. here is an example route
card
which runs RPAC after finishing an SCF calculation:
RHF/6-31G* RPA
RPAC input is included as the final section of the Gaussian 92 input stream.
.
.
.
In many cases the Density=Current option will need to be included as well; see
the
Gaussian 92 manual for details."
I do not see any mention of RPAC in my Gaussian 92 manual; perhaps I overlooked
it.
I hope that this helps.
