NAME
     obenergy -- calculate the energy for a molecule

SYNOPSIS
     obenergy [OPTIONS] filename

DESCRIPTION
     The  obenergy tool can be used to calculate the energy for molecules inside
     (multi-)molecule files (e.g., MOL2, etc.)

OPTIONS
     If no filename is given, obenergy	will  give  all  options  including  the
     available forcefields.

     -v    Verbose: print out all individual energy interactions

     -ff forcefield
	   Select the forcefield

EXAMPLES
     View the possible options, including available forcefields:
	   obenergy

     Calculate the energy for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2:
	   obenergy test.mol2

     Calculate the energy for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2 using the Ghemi-
     cal forcefield:
	   obenergy -ff Ghemical test.mol2

     Calculate	the  energy  for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2 and print out
     all individual energy interactions:
	   obenergy -v test.mol2
