Has anyone used the ochem package?
http://texcatalogue.sarovar.org/entries/ochem.html
Having recently found documentation on it, it has caught my attention for building chemical structures and formulas. Looks brilliant and newer than the XyMTeX package.
If anyone can elaborate with examples and use (document preamble and tex code) of such a package, please do ... I'm really curious to see some output.
It can be extremely useful from an industrial point of view.
Thanks,
A.

Re: Any ochem package users?
I've had a go with ochem in the past, partly as it was pointed out to me by a user of my chemscheme package. I'd say it's probably the best of the TeX packages for drawing schemes. However, I always say that I find creating schemes in code is much harder than drawing them. The results never quite look right, to me. So I stick with ChemDraw and EPS export. Costs (or at least, it would if my employer didn't pay), but it works.
