Right now it will only make an SD file with 2D coords - I don't know the
status of the 3D coordinate generator. Also it only processes 1 SMILES
string specified on the command line, though I'll later put in an option
to accept a file of SMILES strings.

So given this and a shell script, you should be able to convert all the
SMILES and generate the topological descriptors.

Thanks for the pointer - I've updated the TODO list for the descriptor
GUI and I'll add this feature.

Embarassingly, I have to say that QSAROnline is stalled. The guy who was
handling the web framework (Spring, Hibernate etc) moved on. And looking
at the docs/examples scares me! So until someone who knows Spring,
Hibernate  etc can work on it, its not going to go very far :(
