Dictionary of Natural Products, ASCII

Praise for Previous Versions:As an owner and daily user of the CD-ROM version of the Dictionary of Natural Products, I am very impressed by the amount of information given for each compound. Extremely easy to install, the flexibility of the CD-ROM version makes it an indispensable tool for research on natural products. —Dr. Olov Sterner, University of Lund, Sweden The way it’s presented is just perfect … it has saved me literally days of work since we started subscribing … it’s got to the stage where I walk into the library and they don’t even ask what I want. They just say ‘give him the green disk’. —Dr. Alan Freyer, GlaxoSmithKline…an exceptionally well-done compendium that will be often used and save many hours in the library; it should be given top priority for purchase. —M.E. Kuehne, University of Vermont If you are interested in natural products, you will want access to this dictionary.—Natural Product Reports
