Hi,

I *think* I *may* have some time to look at this over the weekend, but I am a bit rusty with Java coding. I did consider doing this earlier (when I wrote the initially bug report) but since it was not code that I had started I did not want to 'take it over'.

Also the flurry of emails about formatting has me now a bit worried :-).

Summary: Spartan reader Initial Comment:
I tried reading an smol file from Spartan 02 (Mac), and got the message that no atoms were present. It seems that depending on how you set up the calculation the "Standard Nuclear Orientation" part may not be present. (before or after the BEGINOUTPUT section). For instance, I did a geometry optimization of a small molecule: 'No atoms in file'. I did a transition state calculation, followed (separately) by a frequency calculation: I do have atoms.. It seems that it may be safer to use the geometry information in the ARCHIVE section since that section is always present. While the following section BEGINPROPARC, contains vibrational information, (PROP VALUE IR_INTENS), and frequencies and symmetries of the frequencies, followed by the displacement vectors, which need to be multiplied by -1.6804058339 to get the values that are reported in the BEGINVOUTPUT section, which is currently parsed.

I think that *.spartan files are generated by older SGI versions of Spartan, but I am not sure.
You can check out all the data files through svn:
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jmol/trunk/Jmol- datafiles jmol-
datafiles

And what about *.spartan files. And where can I find the
J-mol data files?
Thanks...

The CH3F.smol file was an example of a case where the Spartan smol reader fails. The sample spartan files in the Jmol-datafiles of the project load properly. This reader looks for the text "BEGINOUTPUT" followed by "Standard Nuclear Orientation (Ang", which is not always present in the smol file. Their presence is dependent on what type of calculation is done. I just did a few quick tests on H2 geometry optimizations:
PM3 no IR (frequency analysis) : fails to load
PM3 with freq: fails to load
RHF no IR: fails to load
RHF with IR: loads
My message, which started this, pointed out that it may be safer to look for the 'archive' type information in the .smol file as opposed to the captured text log generated by the modules in spartan itself. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -

Darn jmol doesnt even opens the file CH3F.smol which you
attached. wth?
