This system incorporates an interactive menu-driven graphics interface for query construction in QUEST (Figure 3.3). The underlying Version 4 database also contains, for the first time, complete sets of at, -coordinates which permit the display of 2D chemical diagrams for each hit as it is located by QUEST. The PLUTO package is now being blended into QUEST so that, in later releases of Version 4, it will also be possible to examine interactively a 3 D plot of each hit in addition to the 2D representation of the chemical structure. Other facilities of Version 4 (subfiles, interface to GSTAT, etc.) are as for Version 3.

In this way we have, quite routinely, interfaces to vector plotting (ORTEP, PLUTO and MONSTER), raster plotting (COLOR and UNIRAS), conventional normal coordinate analysis with optimisation (MOLVIB), and ab initio calculations (IBMOL-6 and GAUSSIAN-70). ORTEP, PLUTO, IBMOL-6 and GAUSSIAN-70 are so well-known that they probably need no more mention here MONSTER, which is the property of Mr. Per Jacobi, Brede 50, DK-2800 Lyngby, is essentially a program for viewing...
