Sftware for Review

 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 -8 at 8- 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.

 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.
