Yes, see: http://www.woc.sci.kun.nl/super.xml This lists 9 databases... All links refer to URL+database.xml, e.g. http://www.woc.sci.kun.nl/database.xml for the first entry... NIST is there, as well as the NCI database... ChemExper and ChemFinder are good sites too with additional information... > In looking at cactus, I see that another important key/index is 'NSC > number'.

I don't think there are many databases which use the NSC index. > Q: Anyone know anything about CAMEO? I don't.
