Babel - A Molecular Structure Information Interchange Hub
babel@mercury.aichem.arizona.edu
Babel is a program designed to interconvert a number of
file formats currently used in molecular modeling. The program is available for Unix (AIX, Ultrix, Sun-OS, Convex, SGI, Cray, Linux), MS-DOS, and on
Macs running at least System 7.0.
Babel is capable of assigning hybridization, bond order, and connectivity when these elements are not present in the input file.
Babel was designed so that new file formats could be easily added by the end
user. The addition of a file format to Babel typically consists of merely creating
the "reader" and/or "writer" routines and adding a few lines of code to the main
program. For those interested in adding new file formats we have produced
The Babel Developer's Guide
