About:

  This is version 0.4 of ChemConsole and the Server Component ChemConsole 
  Server.ChemConsole provides a GUI to legacy Chemistry applications and 
  allows network access  to those applications. The current version of 
  ChemConsole supports Babel v-1.6 and MOPAC7 on the local and network 
  computers. Future version will have support for more application such as 
  Gaussian or any other programs  I get request to add(prefferable a paid
  request) or  some one else decides to add.

Installation (ChemConsole):

  To run ChemConsole you must  have the JRE  v1.1.7 and Swing 1.03 or later 
  installed and configured properly. These programs can be obtained from Sun's
  JavaSoft  web site, www.javasoft.com . ChemConsole may work with earlier 
  version of the JRE and Swing, but I haven't tested it.

  The first thing you need to do get the ChemConsole-0.4.tar.gz file.
  For win32 users you will need to get a tool that can extract this
  kind of file. I personly use a program called "untgz095". It can be found
  at:
  ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/msdos/arcers/untgz095.zip 
  As you can see it's zip file, so you will have to unzip it.   

  Next change to the directory in which you plan to install the program and
  extract the program file using the appropriate method. For Unix this 
  would be "tar zxvf ChemConsole-0.4.tar.gz". In win32, using "untgz095", 
  this would be "untgz32 ChemConsole-0.4.tar.gz". Remember to put the 
  untgz095 binary files in your PATH.
  This should create directory name Chemc-0.4 in the directory you
  extracted the program file. Finally change to the Chemc-0.4 directory and
  open the start up script, either chemc.sh or chemc.bat, with your favorite
  text editor and set the location of the JRE and swing directories. Once 
  this is done you are ready to run the program.    
  If you plan to use ChemConsole in network mode you will need to get the 
  Server Component, CCServer-0.4.tar.gz. 
  Once you installed the  Server Component, take a look at the README.txt 
  file in the installation directory to see how to configure and use it.
  
Installation (ChemConsoleServer):
  To use ChemConsoleServer you must have a JRE1.1.* VM installed, which has 
  support for RMI (Remote Method Invocation). The only Java VM I know of that
  doesn't have RMI support built in is Microsoft's VM, Jview, so don't use it
  either for the Client or the Server. The host computer must also have 
  networking configured correctly else the Server will not work. 

  The first thing you need to do get the CCServer-0.4.tar.gz file.
  For win32 users you will need to get a tool that can extract this
  kind of file. I personally use a program called "untgz095". It can be found
  at:
  ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/msdos/arcers/untgz095.zip 
  As you can see it's in a zip file, so you will have to unzip it.

  Next follow the instructions for installing ChemConsole to finish the rest 
  of the installation. There should now be a directory named CCS-0.4 in the 
  installation directory. Change to CCS-0.4 directory and using a text editor 
  edit the startup script "ccs.sh" or the bat file "ccs.bat" to fit your 
  specific platform.
  Note: You must have networking properly configured on the Host Computer
        for the ChemConsoleServer to work properly.
