Software for review
4 May, 1998
Subject: Computer Software for Review
As the Software Review Editor for the ACS Journal of Chemical
Information and Computer Science (JCICS) I often get software for review
in the journal. I have four (4) new software products. I am looking
for people who are willing to review these software products. In return
for the review which is published in JCICS you get to keep the software
or database. The review should be completed in 1-3 months. The length
of the review is 4-10 double spaced typed pages. Sample reviews can be
found in most of the recent issues of JCICS.
Please try to give me some (short) reason to choose you over
another person.
I have tried this approach for about the past six years and it is
working reasonably well. (REMINDER: For those who haven't finished your
reviews of software sent months and months ago, this last sentence does
not apply to you!) As a result, I am continuing this new method to find
reviewers using this e-mail/user group system. I reserve the right to
abandon this if it is a problem, or inappropriate. I will not notify
people if I have found a reviewer. If you don't hear from me within a
few days I have chosen someone else to review the particular package.
As I get many, many, (too many) replies to this message, please
do not respond after 6 May, 1998 (Wednesday), as I am sure the software
will be gone by then.
I can be reached on Internet (SRHELLER -8 at 8- GIG.USDA.GOV).
PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE AN STREET ADDRESS, PHONE, and FAX
NUMBER!!! (I often send the software by Federal Express.) Without
this information I WILL NOT consider your request.

The packages I now have are:
1. NIH SBIR Phase I and II forms software from GDI - Grant Forms
(www.grantform.com)
2. LogP dB 3.5 software from ACD Labs (www.acdlabs.com). The ACD/LogP
Calculator will accept most neutral structures ontaining 50 or fewer
atoms and only the elements H, C, N, O, F,
Cl, Br, I through the ChemSketch interface. Then it will calculate n
accurate Log P (octanol/water partition coefficients).
3.ChemSketch 3.5 drawing program software from ACD Labs (www.acdlabs.com)
(includes Dictionary, Tautomers and 3D Viewer) including Chemsketch,
Dictionary, Tautomers and 3D Viewer)
4. NMR Processor 3.5 software from ACD Labs (www.acdlabs.com). This
includes Chemsketch, Dictionary, Tautomers and 3D Viewer)
