It seems that "contact Tripos" was the only answer to my earlier query to
my posting regarding QSAR programs, although other mail I received indicated
that Daylight (LogP) and BBN's Prophet are  useful packages as well.

Does this mean that the other commercial companies are (a) not doing a QSAR
package, (b) not talking about a QSAR package yet or (c) the folks who know
of codes other than those mentioned here are not reading the bboard or responding
to posts...?

I didn't receive any real information on contents of these packages - does
this mean that the "traditional" descriptors are the only set in use (and
so need not be mentioned)?  I'd like to think that there's some new descriptors
(electronic or structural) that have been developed and accepted over the
last few years (other than CoMFA).

Am I missing something?
