Last Update: 02-02-2001

Description:
ChemEdit is a molecular viewer/editor for chemists as well as a general object-oriented drawing program, which runs on Silicon Graphics workstations running on IRIX 4.0.5 or later. ChemEdit is designed mainly to help scientists in the task of drawing and designing chemical structures. In addition, it offers a variety of other useful features such as drawing of common geometrical objects, formatting of text, and interactive display of molecular orbitals and electron densities. It provides graphical interfaces for the PSI88 molecular orbital plotting package and BOSS and MCPRO. The major policy behind this program is that one should be able to obtain a hard copy (PostScript output) which is as close as possible to the displayed screen. ChemEdit for SGI/IRIX is no longer being developed. If you have been a ChemEdit user, please switch to XChemEdit which is an X11/Motif version of ChemEdit.
