It allows one to compute intermolecular interactions between a host and a guest molecule with several different force fields and contains a variety of analysis tools. Input files are MacroModel format.7 To maximize usage of existing and remote machines pvm_grid is parallelized using the PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) Library (http://www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm/ pvm_home.html).
