You may want to try the Babel program suite, developed by the
Dolata Research Group, University of Arizona.
Babel will read the following file types :
Alchemy AMBER PREP Ball and Stick
Biosym .CAR Boogie Cacao Cartesian
Cambridge CADPAC CHARMm Chem3D Cartesian 1
Chem3D Cartesian 2 CSD CSSR CSD FDAT
CSD GSTAT Free Form Fractional GAMESS Output
Gaussian Z-Matrix Gaussian Output Hyperchem HIN
Mac Molecule Macromodel Micro World
MM2 Input MM2 Ouput MM3
MMADS MDL MOLfile MOLIN
Mopac Cartesian Mopac Internal Mopac Output
PDB Quanta ShelX
Spartan Sybyl Mol Sybyl Mol2
XYZ
Babel will write the following file types :
Alchemy Ball and Stick Cacao Cartesian
CAChe MolStruct Chem3D Cartesian 1 Chem3D Cartesian 2
ChemDraw Conn. Table CSD CSSR Gamess Input
Gaussian Cartesian Gaussian Z-matrix Hyperchem HIN
IDATM Mac Molecule Macromodel
Micro World MM2 Input MM2 Ouput
MM3 MMADS MDL Molfile
Mopac Cartesian Mopac Internal PDB
Report Spartan Sybyl Mol
Sybyl Mol2 XYZ
Babel is available via annonymous ftp from
joplin.biosci.arizona.edu in pub/Babel.
Hope this helps.
