 You could contact the lab of Prof. Gasteiger, Univ. Erlangen/Germany.
 His group develops the WODCA (synthesis planning) and EROS (reaction
 prediction) progams. They are not available on public domain
 ftp servers. If you are interested, you'll have to contact the
 group, for example via Ralf.Fick -AatT- EROS.CCC.Uni-Erlangen.DE (R. Fick
 is the chief maintainer of WODCA).
 Sincerely
