Hi all,

I am thrilled to have finally found some great LaTeX support.

I have been working the print/media industry for almost 23 years.

It's a great typesetting system -- reminds me of the days when I used good, old UNIX and TROFF.

The institution I work for has recently begun using LaTeX/MathML for developing chemistry and math courses for the web.

BTW, how do I install the postscript version of the xymtex package for composing chemical structural formulas in LaTeX?

So far, I have only been able to install the standard xymtex package, but I need xymtexps.sty.

I am using WinEdt, MikTeX, and Adobe Acrobat 9 from a Windows XP SP3 platform.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
audreyk

It's nice to have a kind of industrial user of LaTeX here. This community might be able to help you in making your products look as desired.

I'm not aware of a special postscript version of xymtex. This package should be listed in the MiKTeX Package Manger. Note that the version on CTAN is not up to date. The latest version can be downloaded from another page [1]. There you also can find instructions for installation.

Thanks for your warm welcome.

The information you provide for the xymtex package for drawing chemical structures is information I have already accessed.

I realize the package is outdated ... is there a more recent package comparable to xymtex that I could achieve the same powerful end results with?

Has anybody worked with chemical structural formulas in LaTeX?
