CACTVS Tools
CACTVS Tools is a visualization package for chemist. Features:
- A full-featured 2D structure editor (csed),
- A 2D structure browser (csbr),
- An Image viewer, which can also compute GIF images from connectivity alone (csimg),
- A multi-spectra viewer (NMR, IR, UV/VIS, MS), especially usefil for
spectra found on the WWW (csir),
- An NMR viewer with rather restricted capabilities,
- An structure data access/download tool for Chemical MIME files on
the WWW (cswa),
- A WWW structure database access client (csws),
- An XY grapher for numeric information attached to structure datasets,
- A client for a database of computed NMR shieldings (cssharc),
- A GUI-less basic client which can for example be used for
computation services on the internet (via dedicated ports or as CGI
program) and for command-line function testing (csts).

User Comments:
- "I must congratulate you with an impressive system
(CACTVS) and a very nice molecule structure editor!
At least the molecular editor will be used in our
group from now. We have been considering buying
commercial software for the purpose of drawing mol.
structures, but that need is eliminated by csed." ..... Oyvind
