An up-to-date overview of the CFOUR program system is given. After providing a brief outline of the evolution of the program since its inception in 1989, a comprehensive presentation is given of its well-known capabilities for high-level coupled-cluster theory and its application to molecular properties. Subsequent to this generally well-known background information, much of the remaining content focuses on lesser-known capabilities of CFOUR, most of which have become available to the public only recently or will become available in the near future. Each of these new features is illustrated by a representative example, with additional discussion targeted to educating users as to classes of applications that are now enabled by these capabilities. Finally, some speculation about future directions is given, and the mode of distribution and support for CFOUR are outlined.

The reader is doubtless also aware of another popular class of elaborated triples correction, specifically those based on the completely renormalized (CR) class of methods (see, e.g., Ref. 442). Indeed, the CR-CC(2,3) method is among the most popular methods other than CCSD(T) that is used for this purpose, but CFOUR does not yet have an implementation of this method.
