Checkpoint files are written in a binary format which Gaussian can directly
read. If you want to transfer
the file to a different machine, especially a different platform then you need
to use the FORMCHK utility
that converts the binary file into a formatted ascii file. The conversion
should be done on the machine
that created it. If you want to use the file in a Windows environment, then
you'll need to run UNIX2DOS
command (it replaces the Line Feed (LF) ascii code with Carriage Return (CR)
Line Feed (LF) used by
Windows), before FTPing it to the Wondows machine. There is Unix2dos utility
for Windows called
Tofrodos (http://www.thefreecountry.com/tofrodos/) if you wish to do
the Unix-DOS conversion under
Windows/DOS.
