GaussSum parses the output files of ADF, GAMESS, Gaussian and PC GAMESS calculations to extract useful information.

GaussSum version 2.0 can do the following:
display all lines containing a certain phrase
follow the progress of the SCF convergence
follow the progress of a geometry optimisation
extract molecular orbital information, including contributions of groups of atoms to the molecular orbitals
plot the density of states spectrum (and the partial density of states, in the case of groups of atoms)
plot the crystal orbital overlap population (COOP) spectrum, which gives information on the bonding/anti-bonding nature of an overlap between atoms/groups
extract information on the UV-Vis transitions, including the change in the charge density of groups of atoms
plot the UV-Vis spectrum and the circular dichroism spectrum
extract information on IR and Raman vibrations
plot the IR and Raman spectra, which may be scaled using general or individual scaling factors
Release Notes for Version 2.0.6: Plotting the PDOS was failing due to 'type' issues with Numeric arrays (due to changes in cclib 0.6.1).
Release Notes for Version 2.0.5: Parsing was failing for Gaussian files with "pop=regular".
Release Notes for Version 2.0.4: Plotting vibrational frequencies now works for GAMESS calculations that have imaginary frequencies (bug fix in cclib).
Release Notes for Version 2.0.3: Plotting vibrational frequencies now works for frequencies that don't have symmetry labels.
Release Notes for Version 2.0.2: COOP now works for unrestricted calculations.
Release Notes for Version 2.0: main differences compared to GaussSum 1.0
This is the first release of GaussSum that uses cclib to parse output files.
Calculation of the DOS and COOP uses matrix algebra now, and is almost instant.
Images can now be saved as .png files.
Groups can be described in terms of atomic orbitals now (and not just atoms).
