I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN HEARING INFORMATION FROM MY COLLEAGUES
ON NEURAL NETWORKS, PARTICULARLY AS APPLIED TO PROBLEMS OF CHEMICAL
SIGNIFICANCE.  ANY INFORMATION ON SUCH ITEMS AS (1) SOURCES OF FREE
OR INEXPENSIVE SOFTWARE, (2) PERTINENT BOOKS AND ARTICLES, (3)
RELEVANT USER COMPUTER NETWORKS LIKE THE PRESENT ONE ON COMP. CHEM.
FINALLY, AMONG THE SEVERAL COMMERCIAL NEURAL NETWORK SOFTWARE,
CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND ONE THAT WAS FOUND PARTICULARLY USEFUL AND WORTHWHILE.
THANKS MUCH!  BILL WELSH (C1790@UMSLVAXA).

Does anyone out there in INDUSTRY have any success stories
to tell about how computational chemistry not only aided in
understanding some chemically related problem but also saved
their company money in the short or long run?  I understand
that one may have to worry about the proprietary aspects of
the story, but if the story could be told without revealing
anything proprietary, it may help subscribers to this list
(hopefully, there are postdocs, grads, and undergrads reading
these messages) better understand the importance of computational
chemistry outside of academia.
