Good to see that you are picking up XML. Unfortunately, it seems that only the metadate is being marked up, and not the chemistry itself. Is MDL working on converting the MDL mol format to XML too? kind regards, Egon -- egonw*at*sci.kun.nl PhD on Molecular Representation in Chemometrics Nijmegen University http://www.cac.sci.kun.nl/people/egonw/ GPG: 1024D/D6336BA6
