Hi all,

with respect to Kat [1], a full text search/index program for the KDE desktop 
environment [2], I'm writing a command line tool to convert a chemistry 
document into a text only version, as helper for Kat [3]. In a very crude 
setup, this sort of comes down to ripping out all chemistry :)

Seriously, I welcome very much some discussion here on what information you 
would like to preserve in a ASCII (text/plain) version of a chemistry 
document? Please indicate the file format, when making comments. Some 
documents contain more information than others (e.g. PDB vs. XYZ :).

BTW, Kat already indexes three types of chemistry documents (PDB, CIF, MDL 
molfile), by treating them as plain/text without ripping out the chemistry, 
but that dirties up the indexing. Kat requires the chemicalMIME package [4] 
to be installed on your system.

Egon
