Hello again,
Actually, MOPAC does support electrostatic embedding (make sure you have
the "QMMM" keyword in your MOPAC configuration line), but it does not take
the positions and charges of the classical atoms around the QM atoms, it
actually takes a file with the electrostatic potential at the position of
each QM atom (that is why the file is so much smaller).
Take a look at the documentation <http://openmopac.net/manual/QMMM.html> (
http://openmopac.net/manual/QMMM.html)
Best,
