Re: ChemSketch for linux

It doesn't exist MarvinSketch (http://www.chemaxon.com/product/msketch.html) is not that bad, but I miss some important features and the structures don't look perfect every time. Also BKChem (http://bkchem.zirael.org/) has some interesting approaches, but it's (still) not perfect and stable . But the structures look very nice. At the moment I'm using ISISDraw 2.5 in wine. This is imho a bad way, but if there is no other possibility. And ISIS runs quite well in wine (except the settings!).
