What SINGLE molecule, stable at ROOM TEMPERATURE contains the greatest number of DIFFERENT ATOMS (ie C,N,O,S)? I'll summarize to the list if anyone else cares about this kind of trivia!

Programs written in nab are translated into C, which in turn is compiled into machine code. The hope is to make nab a sort of "molecular awk": a language that facilitates writing (often short) programs that perform molecular transformations and distance geometry calculations. Further general information can be obtained from our web page: http://www.scripps.edu/pub/case-web/casegroup.html The code itself is available via anonymous ftp from: ftp.scripps.edu in file pub/macke/nab5.v_1_0.tar.Z Although we have been using this code for some time, users should be aware that this is the first released version, so that as more people use the program, new bugs may be uncovered. Further enhancements are planned, and will be announced on the web page. Please send comments and suggestions to Tom Macke (macke@scripps.edu) and/or to Dave Case (case@scripps.edu).
