Welcome to the Chem-Ray Homepage. Chem-Ray is a molecular graphics program written for Windows-95. On these pages you will find a description of the program and a selection of sample images.

Chem-Ray was written for Window-95. For ideal operation it requires a fast processor and a high quality graphics board. It is strongly recommended that a graphics board that allows 24 bit "true color" be used. If the program detects a lower number of available colors, some graphics options within the program will be disabled.

Demonstration Version

A demo version of Chem-Ray is available for downloading. The program requires Windows 95 or Windows NT. For full operation a 24 bit "true color" graphics environment is required. The demo version is identical to the full version with the major restriction that only three demonstration molecules can be displayed. To use the demo, just download the program into an empty directory and run it as a Windows application. The program will generate two necessary data files. For help and instructions use these web pages.
