 The CarbBank, complex carbohydrate structure group at the University
 of Georgia has done some interesting work using subgraph pattern matching
 to retrieve complex carbohydrate structures.  You can reach them by
 E-mail at  CarbBank  "-at-"  UGA.Bitnet or they have deposited software,
 databases, and documentation with the National Library of Medicine.
 The latter can be retrieved by anonymous ftp from the host:

 in the subdirectory:
