QUICK uses a simple text based input file that consists of a line with keywords
55
followed by an empty line, the molecular coordinates in xyz format, and
6-
potentially point charge information after another empty line. Please see the

potentially external point charge information after another empty line. Please see the

Hands-on Tutorials for details on the input file format.
