I have several requests/questions.

1).  Some time ago, I seem to recall there was a post informing us of the fact  
that there exists something to make NeXT capable of using Russian.  I lost that  
in a bad hard drive wipeout (lost 70 Mbytes of COMPRESSED files, none backed up  
:--{ )  Anyone out there, please help me!  Also, if there are other word  
processors available (hebrew, for example), please direct me to them.

2).  Are there any chemistry programs for the NeXT besides Molecule (not to say  
that it is bad; it is quite good!).  I am searching something along the lines  
of Chemintosh or Chemdraw of Mac's.

3).  I am searching for a good database.  It should be able to use text AND  
graphics.  I plan to use it in the following way.  I would input important  
parts of articles taken from chemical literature in my specialty (synthesis of  
metal complexes), such as who wrote the article, when, essential information  
from the article, where it was published, the name of compound synthesized, how  
it was made, and a drawing of the molecule that was produced.  Currently, this  
is done on little pieces of paper, and VERY inconveniently, as there are more  
and more of these every day.  I would like to, for example, name a compound,  
and get several records that tell me what was written about it, how to make it,  
when it was first made, and so on.


I hope someone helps me...

I do accept NeXT mail everywhere, except the casbah.acns.nwu.edu address, but  
your mail may bounce, as these machines crash often.
