An Overview of TONTO

Welcome to TONTO

TONTO is a computer package for "doing" computational chemistry. It is the embodiment of a grandiose scheme to make computational chemistry quicker, easier, and more fun to do.

The idea is to provide useful, well documented and efficient "blocks" of code that can easily be "put together" in as many ways as the user can imagine.

TONTO is copyleft under the less restrictive GNU library license. It is officially, and forever, free software.

This document is a complete introduction and manual to the TONTO system. It is suitable for beginners and experts, users and programmers. To get some idea of whether TONTO may be of any use to you, and to understand how to use it, you should at least read this introductory chapter.
