Dear Mark, I tried your WAP version of WebElements - great idea. Thought you'd like to know about a problem, though. It does not work on the emulator from the link on http://www.webelements.com/wapelements/index.html in Netscape. It does work in IE5. However, if you go to gelon.net in Netscape and enter your wml link, it works fine.

Molecule of the Month - May

Hi, With Spring being in the air and things becoming green again, May's MOTM is appropriately chlorophyll. All 4 versions are available at the usual URL: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm I'm now down to one spare MOTM, so if anyone fancies writing one, or has a good student project that might make a MOTM, please let me know.

cross-posted: preprint servers (2)
by Michael Engel 01 Jun '00

01 Jun '00

Those who receive my email several times, please use the delete key freely. Coming back to these new preprint servers. There are still so many important questions open. Are electronic time-stamps lawyer-attack-proofed ? Or is it necessary for any preprint server to print out the submitted paper and stamp it manually ? Will journal publishing companies allow the submission to such servers, before or after the submission to a journal ? before submission to a journal: pre-publication ? after submission to a journal: reduced revenue for the publisher as many people will not buy the publication but take the preprint ? Any comments from ChemWeb.com ???? Thank you. Michael chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.

preprint & publication
by Michael Engel 01 Jun '00

01 Jun '00

Hello When I am reading about preprint servers, I am wondering about the actual procedure. In the timescale of a publication, when will it be send to such a server. Before you send it to a journal ? They will not accept my paper then - already published. After sending it to a journal - I will not be allowed because of the reduced revenue for the publisher. Some people will download the preprint, as it contains the same data. Or will the preprint be erased after publication ? Thanks for any enlightenment.

Molecule of the Month - June
by Paul May 30 May '00

30 May '00

Hi, June's MOTM is Histrionicotoxin, a poison obtained from the sweat of Amazon rainforests frogs! There's only a Chime version of it available at present, but I'll have all 3 other versions on-line by the weekend. It was written by Neil Edwards of Sussex University. http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/staff/pwm.htm I'm now very short of MOTMs for future months. I have a load I've written myself, but I'd prefer some from other authors to spread mine out a bit. Any volunteers??
