Building with GaussView:• Instead of typing all the coordinates, theory, basis
set, etc., we can use GaussView.
• The calculation is specified by pointing and clickingto build the molecule, and using pull-down menus toselect the calculation type, level of theory and basisset.
• GaussView generates the Gaussian input file, andcan run Gaussian without ever returning to the Unixprompt.
• GaussView can also be used to read Gaussianoutput files and visualize the results.
