<p>
<h2><a name='sect2' href='#toc2'><b>Description</b></a></h2>
<p>
The obminimize tool can be used to minimize the energy for molecules
inside (multi-)molecule files (e.g., MOL2, etc.)
<p>
<h2><a name='sect3' href='#toc3'><b>Options</b></a></h2>
<p>
If no filename is given, obminimize will give all options including the
available forcefields.
