Use this command to translate from one chemistry file format to another, and load a converted file into memory or an external editor.

After selecting an appropriate file, the dialog box appears for conversion. Preliminary conversion parameters are preset depending on the file extension of the filename selected.

Use the FIND FILE button to quickly select a different conversion source file.

Generate File Filename: The system attempts to build an appropriate filename for the selected source file. The generated file will be created in the same directory as the source file. The file extension will be adjusted as the user selects conversion parameters under output options.

Load Converted File as Job: Tells the system to load the newly generated file into memory for further processing by Gaussian. This will only happen if the file conversion was successful.

Edit Generated File: Tells the system to load the newly generated file into memory, and display it for editing.

Ext.Editor->Generated File: Tells the system to load the newly generated file into the user defined external editor for modification and display. The file is not loaded into Gaussian memory.

Input Options: This button allows user control over the NewZMat Input Parameters.

Output Options: This button allows user control over the NewZMat Output Parameters.

Other Options: This button allows user control over the NewZMat Other Parameters.
