Warr lists several NMR, IR and MS spectral databases. Most if not all of them are meant to be used on small computers, PCs & Macs. This is perhaps a good choice for interactive work close to bench or spectrometer, but for other applications poses rather severe limitation. I'd appreciate very much any comment about hands-on experience or familiarity with the databases listed below. Of special interest are ease of use, availability of internal data formats, ASCII exports, and most of all portability to UNIX. Please e-mail me direct, I'll summarize for the net. Thanks in advance, Jan Radomski NMR spectral databases: source/vendor ## of 13C 1H other nuclei SADTLER (on PC) 34000 - - -"- CSEARCH 60000 - - SpecInfo 99000 830 13700 NIMCR Japan 8000 11000 - Preston Scientific - - 10000 19F 1300 other Bruker 19000 9000 - Tsukuba Univ.
