Allright, then I have to switch to some other package.
If no free one will fit the bill we'll have to settle for
some commercial closed-source applet, or something.

That's all I need. I don't see how that code would be useful in
a 3D structure, though.

It would be very useful with 2D where the z coordinate is zero,
and all carbons not displayed.

It's a patent database, with free public access. (I'm used to 
open source as a user, the corporate hat is a novelty to me,
so I'm trying to not doing something foolish inadvertedly).

Thanks for your help.
