I guess this will be difficult because the mapping of atomtypes from one 
force field to another is not one-to-one.

By the way Michel,

your website looks very interesting. I would like to make this process 
non-interactive, and can generate a mol2 file from a pdb file using 
babel (if the pdb file has H already of course) and hence skip the 
chimera step. I just submitted a molecule but haven't got the result 
yet, is there an off-line version? Or one where I can send 200 molecules?
