HyperSpin is a client for HyperChem written by Marcio Cyrillo (cyrillo@ifi.unicamp.br). HyperSpin allows conformational search for dihedral angles and bond distances, using computational methods built in HyperChem. Visit the HyperSpin site http://www.ifi.unicamp.br/gsonm/hyperspin to download the latest version of this software. A copy of the software can also be downloaded here..

SNP2TXT is a utility written by Mirek Sopek of MAKO-LAB in Lodz, Poland. It can convert HyperChem .SNP files into text files so that their contents can be processed more easily by people or by external software. At the moment, we offer a compressed file that includes the C source code and documentation.

CONVERT.EXE is a utility package written by Graham Wills-Johnson of the Department of Applied Chemistry, R M I T, in Melbourne, Australia. It can:
Another useful utility for processing text files (including log files and .HIN files) is the FILTER keyword searcher by Joel Polowin. It can process text files of any size, printing lines that match multiple simultaneous search criteria. Search terms can be independently checked for presence or absence, case-sensitive or not; terms can be linked as "A or B or C ..." Nested files of search terms can be used; the software has options for binary files and a limited sort of "fuzzy searching". This archive file includes documentation and the source code.
"Graphics Workshop" is shareware by Alchemy Mindworks Inc. We place it here simply so that people can get access to it, and because some of its functions can be useful for manipulating images produced by our software. Specifically, it can convert Windows bitmap files (.BMP), such as those produced by HyperChem, into other formats such as TIFF, PCX, and CompuServe's .GIF . We do not warrant its use, and our providing this access should not be construed as implying recommendation or anything else legally binding. If you find shareware useful, you should register it.
Some software doesn't like the .MOL files that HyperChem writes. Until we can get this sorted out, here's a conversion utility that should process one of our .MOL files to make it palatable to those other programs. It's a DOS program; one would use it in a DOS shell. Typical usage:
HCMOLFIX problem.mol > fixed.mol
We've had occasional requests for a file filter that will let people read crystallographic coordinate files like the ones given regularly in inorganic journals. Such a file typically begins with a line giving crystallographic parameters a, b, c, alpha, beta, gamma and then has lines of atom types and coordinates. The following is a fairly simple DOS program that converts one of these files to .HIN format. Any lines that can't be parsed are kept as comment lines; if the first data line is not parsable as a set of parameters, the coordinates in all data lines are taken to be absolute coordinates. Data values can be separated with spaces or commas; the atom-type entry on each line can either precede or follow the coordinates. Some attempt is made to convert atom names such as "CO213" into atom types such as "Co". This program should be used in a DOS shell. Typical usage:
XRAY2HIN xrayfile.xyz > hinfile.hin
The Support Desk has also received requests for a file filter that will let people read in a Cartesian coordinate file and output a HIN file. We provide the source code for xray2hin (described in previous section) and encourage you to modify it to suit your specific needs.
CineChem is a utility for converting .HIN files to AutoDesk 3D Studio format. This is a self-extracting archive file; put it into the directory you want, and type 'CINE' from a DOS prompt to extract the files, including documentation.
We have compiled an index for the HyperChem for Windows Computational Chemistry manual (Release 4 or 4.5). (The HyperChem for SGI manual already has an index.)

Some users have had difficulty in setting up network license management for HyperChem because of interactions with other network software. The NetSentinel Configuration Guide from Rainbow Technologies is an executable that will "walk you thru setting up a Novell/WFW network with the NetSentinel and any issues or special configuration settings that may need to be made for those environments." The old version of the guide is completely compatible with our software, but is not up-to-date; it does not describe the configuration of servers for Windows 95. (Use the NSRVGX driver, as described for Windows NT.) The new version of the guide is up-to-date but describes some features that are not available for use with HyperChem.
Download NS_GUIDE.EXE (457 kB)
Here are the current network drivers:
Download NEWNET.EXE (274 kB), license server for DOS,
Windows, Novell
Download NSRVGX.EXE (296 kB), license server for
Win'95 and Windows NT
Download NSRVNI.NLM (68 kB), license server for Novell
Here is a diagnostic tool from Rainbow which can help you to see if your network license manager is working properly, how many licenses should be available, etc. The program is for use under DOS or a DOS shell window.

Two new macros become available thanks to Dr. Laszlo JICSINSZKY who also wrote a short readme for each of them. The first macro, NewOpen, explores Visual Basic as an alternative to the Excel macros available through the HyperChem manuals. The second macro, NewCage, creates a cage of solvent molecules /user's choice/ arranging them in a solvation box in a way similar to that implemented in HyperChem. The solute has to be brought manually in the box and subsequently relaxed in the solvation shell.
