Hi Chris,

Looks as though my previous reply did not reach you before you sent the
link to "mols2grid". I discovered this python package recently, and it
definitely looks to be of interest (albeit, at first glance, it appears a
bit complicated). There is also a KNIME workflow for mols2grid that is
available on the KNIME Hub.

However, I think I am getting close to a solution by using teh form view
widget in ChemAxon InstantJChem.

Thanks!

Rudy
