    The rapid advancements in computer technology has allowed scientific researchers to obtain personal computers with a good price/performance rati. Their computing power and graphic quality (OpenGL) are close to the professional workstations in the field of molecular modeling and computational science.

BatchMan (Batch Manager) was developed for a Windows (9x and NT) environment with two objectives in mind:
- To take advantage of sufficiently powerful personal computer to carry out certain calculations thus reducing the calculation workload on some to workstations.
- To provide for students an " easy to use " tool to carry out quantum calculations which would be very useful for students during introductory courses of molecular modeling.

BatchMan consists of a graphic interface with two quantum calculation programs (MOPAC V6 and GAMESS) and a file format conversion utility (Babel) which allows one to import input files or to export results.

Take a look at the Overview section in order to learn more about BatchMan or go to the Download section to try this.

BatchMan is available free of charge. It is however, not free of programming bugs. So, I encourage you to test it. The report of your comments, questions and problems will be greatly appreciated.
