CCL: Program for similarity index calculation

 Dear Anderson,
 
MIPSim can do that and it is free for academia, although it is only for linux and IRIX. It is based on the potentials calculated by GAMESS (quantum electrostatic potential) and GRID (classical MIPs)

 Dear Colleagues,
 
I have a series of compounds that have the same backbone of chloroquine molecule, differing from it by some substituents placed here and there on the structure. I would like to get a measure of the similarity between each one of the molecules in the series and the chloroquine molecule, by using Carbo or Hodgkin indices. Does anyone know a public domain computer program (Windows, if possible...) that can reliably perform such a calculation.
 I acknowledge any help.
 Anderson>
