That's true. One of those things I've never gotten around to. Maybe this is the spur I need. According to tree.hh's website, it says that it's now available under GPL v2 also.
My mistake with Confab was to alter Open Babel rather than write a separate application that used the library. I didn't feel confident enough with C++ to do this at that stage. I think that tree.hh and one or two other files should be moved into a Confab project and the rest merged with OB. There were a couple of improvements to the torsion handling (the code in OB ignores currently graph symmetry, e.g. torsions involving phenyls), and I don't know what else. The key code that is somewhat specific to Confab is the on-the-fly RMSD filtering. - Noel On 12 March 2013 01:15, Geoffrey Hutchison <geoff.hutchi...@gmail.com> wrote: >> For some internal purposes, I wanted a combined openbabel/confab code >> base, so I merged them. > > Thanks.
