Synthesis and retrosynthesis prediction programs

[Bill Laidig <laidig -AatT- pg.com>]

All,
 I am trying to find out about the current status of programs for
 synthesis/retrosynthesis.  It has been at least 5 years since I have
 looked at this area and need to find out about the players,
 state-of-the-art, etc.  I will summarize what I learn back to the list.
 Thanks,  Bill Laidig
