# The misc/openbabel port

## openbabel-2.2.3p5 – chemistry file translation program

## Description

    Open Babel is a chemical toolbox designed to speak the many languages of
    chemical data.  It's an open, collaborative project allowing anyone to
    search, convert, analyze, or store data from molecular modeling,
    chemistry, solid-state materials, biochemistry, or related areas.

    It is designed to pick up where the Babel chemistry file translation
    program left off, as a cross-platform program and library designed to
    interconvert between many file formats used in molecular modeling and
    computational chemistry.

    Open Babel includes two components, a command-line utility and a
    C++ library. The command-line utility is intended to be used as a
    replacement for the original babel program, to translate between
    various chemical file formats.  The C++ library includes all of the
    file-translation code as well as a wide variety of utilities to
    foster development of other open source chemistry software.
