I spent a considerable time writing parsers for Gaussian output. Unfortunately it varies very considerably between versions - more than other programs. So you cannot rely on messages like this occurring in every case.

Are the strings "Entering Link" common in g03 files? If so, we might add them to the resolver...

Again this is system-dependent. Gaussian consists of components called links and some, but not all, implementations emit these messages. Without these messages it is almost impossible to write a full Gausian parser - you cannot tell where one link stops and the next starts. It is possible to cherry-pick some fields but nothing can be relied upon.

Other systems like GAMESS are starting to use CML/XML as the markup and this will revolutionise this area.
