hached and wedged bonds in chemical structures

As colleagues, we have been working on typesetting chemistry using (predominantly) streetex.
The program is both powerful and flexible (much more flexible tht XyMTeX, for example),
but it does not provide hached and wedged bonds that are suitable for our purposes. It
took us a long time to work ...

Trouble with running xymtexps 4.03 under MiKTeX

With help from the forum post by andreas (thank you!), I managed to
install xymtexps in such a way that MiKTeX could find and read it;

control sequence in line ...
