<p>
<h2><a name='sect2' href='#toc2'><b>Description</b></a></h2>

<p>
Babel is a cross-platform program designed to interconvert between many
file formats used in molecular modeling and computational chemistry and
related areas.

<p><p>
Open Babel is also a complete programmers toolkit for developing chemistry
software. For more information, se the Open Babel web pages
&lt;<b><a href="http://openbabel.org/">http://openbabel.org/</a></b>&gt;.

<p>
<h2><a name='sect3' href='#toc3'><b>Options</b></a></h2>

<p>
If only input and output files are given, Open Babel will guess the file
type from the filename extension.
