This is *very* helpful. As I understand it, this is the 'registry' only. I see that the cactus database (http://cactus.nci.nih.gov ... with 250K compounds) allows you to access the data by CAS number. Q: Are there other large, publically available databases on the web? In looking at cactus, I see that another important key/index is 'NSC number'. After searching the web I figured out that 'NSC number' is from the National Safety council and is used within the CAMEO database system. Q: Is this 'NSC' number used by anyone in the Jmol community? Q: Anyone know anything about CAMEO?
