I thought this recent posting to the Chemical Information Sources discussion group might be of interest to the ChemWeb subscribers, particularly in light of the recent post from Bill Town/Paul Bendix. ============START of FORWARDED MESSAGE============= To: CHMINF-L@IUBVM.UCS.INDIANA.EDU Big news for those interested in chemical structure management! The electronic version of the Wall Street Journal reports that MDL has been acquired by Reed Elsevier for $320M or $32/share. The stock closed on Friday at 17 1/4. Undoubtedly there will be a press release, but you can see the entire WSJ story by signing up for a free two week trial. IMHO the site is very well done. http://interactive4.wsj.com/ Norman R.
