Stan, It will be interesting to see if a common model or models develops for positioning of HyperChem within companies with existing expensive modeling packages, or whether the models are very sensitive to the particular company. During our testing program I saw a couple of places using a two-tire system of sorts. They use their expensive package on the workstation, and got several copies of HyperChem to run on PC's. They move data back and forth using the PDB file format, and get to relieve the congestion at the workstation in an efficient manner. I have seen the same model talked about at a couple of places for when the SGI version of HyperChem comes out (soon!); the superior graphics and processing speed of the workstation can be saved for when they are really needed while the PC version can be used for a large percentage of the work. I will be interested to see what models do develop elsewhere. Tom Slee, Hypercube
