15 May 2000 Subject: Computer Software for Review As the Software Review Editor for the ACS Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Science (JCICS) I often get software for review in the journal. I have three (3) new software products. I am looking for people who are willing to review these software products. In return for the review which is published in JCICS you get to keep the software or database. The review should be completed in 1-3 months. The length of the review is 4-10 double spaced typed pages. Sample reviews can be found in most of the recent issues of JCICS. Please try to give me some (short) reason to choose you over another person. I have tried this approach for about the past seven years and it is working reasonably well. (REMINDER: For those who haven't finished your reviews of software sent months and months ago, this last sentence does not apply to you!) As a result, I am continuing this new method to find reviewers using this e-mail/user group system. I reserve the right to abandon this if it is a problem, or inappropriate. I will not notify people if I have found a reviewer. If you don't hear from me within a few days I have chosen someone else to review the particular package. As I get many, many, (too many) replies to this message, please do not respond after 19 May, 2000 (Friday), as I am sure the software will be gone by then. I can be reached on Internet (STEVE@HELLERS.COM). PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE AN STREET ADDRESS, PHONE, and FAX NUMBER!!! (I often send the software by Federal Express.) Without this information I WILL NOT consider your request. Steve Heller The packages I now have are: 1. Un-Scan-It, version 5.0: Automated Digitizing Software from Silk Scientific. This PC software converts scanned graphical images into real 9x,y) data values.(www.silkscientific.com) 2. Origin 6.0 from Microcal Software. PC (windows 95, 98, NT) software for data analysis and technical graphcis presentations. It is an advanced technical graphics and data analysis software that includes 3D and contour plotting.
