I think such a two-tier system is where we'll end up with most users not bothering with large packages. In this regard I think the visualization tools become really important, In fact they may overwhelm the modeling aspect of the software. Electronic Drieding models (much more flexible and capable of being queried as to approach distances, etc., would appeal to a lot of traditional chemist types. I think the Builder aspects of Hyperchem are pretty interesting in this regard. We're beginning to promulgate a number of RISC 6000 machines on our network. Any plans for a RISC version of Hyperchem? Is the SGI version network aware? Is it practical to run it remotely (say, from a PC accessing the workstation over ethernet)?
