Bentley, Lynn W. Jelinski, Brian W. Kernighan + +The book is available in the internet at +<http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cstr/122.ps.gz>. + +Many of the examples had to be fixed. Unfortunately, the `chem' akw +version does not run on many of these programs. But the Perl version +of `chem' works on all examples. + +Most examples do not use the modern chemical display. They have C +atoms added, whereas the modern method omits all C atoms and their +directly appended H atoms. + +The examples are named and sorted by the chapter where they are found +in the book. For example, the file `ch4c_colon.chem' means a `chem' +example in chapter 4; according to `c', it is the third example in +this chapter; the name `colon' is used to describe the context of the +example. + +You can view the graphical display of the examples by calling + + groffer <file> + +`groffer' calls `chem' automatically. + +If you want to transform example files to a different format use the +`roff2*' programs: + +`roff2dvi' prints dvi format to standard output, +`roff2html' generates html output, +`roff2pdf' outputs pdf mode, +`roff2ps' produces PostScript output, +`roff2text' generates text output in the groff device `latin1', +`roff2x' prints the output in the groff device X that is + suitable for programs like `gxditview' or `xditview'. + +To get a suitable `groff' output run + + @g@chem <file> | groff -p ... + + +####### License + +Last update: 5 Jan 2009 + +Copyright (C) 2006, 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc. +Written by Bernd Warken. + +This file is part of `chem', which is part of `groff'. + +`groff' is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it +under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or +(at your option) any later version. + +`groff' is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT +ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or +FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
