 Dear Bill:
     Early this year I went to an introductory seminar on a new Beilstein package
 that specializess in showing these synthetic pathways and has many other
 features.
 You can try contacting the Beilstein people, or, for more information, log on to
 the Rutgers website (New Brunswick), search out a library head honcho, and get
 more
 information from them. Try www.libraries.rutgers.edu. Because the package did
 not
 have any personal applications for my work, I didn't keep the information.
