I now made a program obthermo that works like this:

% obthermo methane-g3-298.log
obthermo - extract thermochemistry data from quantum chemistry logfiles
Found symmetry number 1 in methane-g3-298.log
DeltaHform(0K)          -16.2427    kcal/mol
DeltaHform(298.149K)    -18.1592    kcal/mol
DeltaSform(298.149K)    -14.5067   cal/mol K
DeltaGform(298.149K)     -13.834    kcal/mol
S0(298.149K)             49.3317   cal/mol K

However, the symmetry number is wrong, therefore:
% obthermo -symm 12 methane-g3-298.log
obthermo - extract thermochemistry data from quantum chemistry logfiles
Found symmetry number 1 in methane-g3-298.log
Changing symmetry number to 12
Applying rotational entropy correction Srot -4.93802
Applying correction to free energy T Srot
DeltaHform(0K)          -16.2427    kcal/mol
DeltaHform(298.149K)    -18.1592    kcal/mol
DeltaSform(298.149K)    -19.4448   cal/mol K
DeltaGform(298.149K)    -15.3063    kcal/mol
S0(298.149K)             44.3937   cal/mol K


That seems to work, so I will prepare a patch for this.

However it would be extremely helpful if someone can give me a pointer 
as to how to use OB to get the symmetry number!

Thanks,
