# Example for the calculation of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) including
# zero-field splitting (ZFS). If the subkey MCD is included in the key
# EXCITATIONS the MCD parameters of the calculated excitations are calculated (A
# and B terms). The keys RELATIVISTIC ZORA and SOMCD are required for a
# calculation of temperature-dependent C terms. The key ALLPOINTS is required
# for an MCD calculation (if the molecule has symmetry). For zero-field
# splitting (ZFS) the electron spin S<=1.
