Heller" To: jcicshelp , chemistry@ccl.net, chminf-l@iubvm.ucs.indiana.edu, orgchem@extreme.chem.rpi.edu Subject: Sftware for Review Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII 11 April, 1995 Subject: Computer Software for Review As the Software Review Editor for the ACS Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Science (JCICS) I often get software for review in the journal. I have 4 new software products. All four run under Windows!! I am looking for people who are willing to review these software/databases products. In return for the review which is published in JCICS you get to keep the software or database. The review should be completed in 1-3 months. The length of the review is 4-10 double spaced typed pages. Sample reviews can be found in most of the recent issues of JCICS. Please try to give me some (short) reason to choose you over another person. DO NOT SAY YOU WILL REVIEW ANYTHING I HAVE AVAILABLE. Messages with such replies are trashed! I have tried this approach for about the past four years and it is working reasonably well. (REMINDER: For those who haven't finished your reviews of software sent months and months ago, this last sentence does not apply to you!) As a result, I am continuing this new method to find reviewers using this e- mail/user group system. I reserve the right to abandon this if it is a problem, or inappropriate. I will not notify people if I have found a reviewer. If you don't hear from me within a few days I have chosen someone else to review the particular package. As I get many, many, (too many) replies to this message, please do not respond after 13 April 1995 (Thursday), as I am sure the software will be gone by then. I can be reached on Internet (SRHELLER@NALUSDA.GOV). PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE AN STREET ADDRESS, PHONE, and FAX NUMBER!!! (I send the software by Federal Express.) Without this information I WILL NOT consider your request. Steve Heller The packages I now have are: 1. ChemWindow, Version 3.1 from SoftShell. This is a structure drawing program which runs under Windows. 2. Lab Glassware collection, Version 1.0 from SoftShell. This requires ChemWindow 3.1 or later. 3. SciLogP from SciVision. One needs either HyperChem 3.0 or 4.0 and Excel 4.0 or 5.0 to run this program. The program calculates logP values. The reviewer will have to contact SciVision to get the unlocking code for the program. 4. SCAN from Minitab Statistical Software. This is a Windows based program for chemometric analysis. This is a data analysis program, with three main features: preprocessing, data exploration, and modeling.
