Hello, I am new here in this list and I am the one who has the problems with ppchtex. At first I have to thank Hraban and Tobias for their committed help! Under LaTeX I tried the downloaded version of ppchtex.tex from pragma-ade.nl. I got only the lines for the bonds between the atoms, no letters for the atomic symbols. And I got the error message Tobias and Hraban reported. Tobias' version of ppchtex.tex works fine! The downloaded version works fine only under ConTeXt not under LaTeX. Is there a bug? Or am I to stupid?
Another question: Is it possible to create seven-membered ring-systems with ppchtex? I never found something in the manual about it.

Perhaps this helps to solve this problem with PPCHTeX.
