Babel 1.6 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.
