INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF THE CHEMICAL STRUCTURE TEX MACROS AND THE TEX SOURCE FILES WITH DOCUMENTATION: File macros.tex contains all the macros. The other files are also TeX source files and contain instructions and other useful information. The files called chap*.tex are chapters from my thesis. Files appdb.tex and appdc.tex contain information on numeric values of coordinates in the structure diagrams and on slopes possible in LaTeX, respectively. To run a file like chap5.tex through TeX/LaTeX, you first have to look at the \input statements at the beginning of the files and make sure that these files are in your directory. The easiest way to include ALL macros would be a statement \input {macros.tex}. Since I could not do that on our system because of TeX memory limitations, I had to put individual macros (or groups of macros) into separate files and use statements such as \input{purine.tex} where file purine.tex contains the macro (\newcommand) called purine. Separate files such as purine.tex are not part of the files sent to you now; you would have to cut them out of macros.tex if necessary. The macros called initial and reinit are always needed when the chemical structure macros are used. Author: Roswitha Haas EMCT Information Program Oak Ridge National Laboratory P.O.

chemtex – Structural chemistry
The package was a very early demonstration of the use of TeX for graphical purposes; it is seldom if ever used now (21st century), but represented ground-breaking effort when first released.
