NAME
     cht - chemtool drawings analyzer

SYNOPSIS
     cht [-options] filename.cht

DESCRIPTION
     cht  is  a commandline tool to derive the sum formula and molecular mass of
     the molecule depicted in a chemtool drawing file.	 It  is  also  available
     from within chemtool to calculate these data for the current structure or a
     marked fragment of it.

     cht  currently recognizes the element symbols  C, H, O, N, P, S, Si, B, Br,
     Cl, F, I, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga,  Ge,  In,  K,
     Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, Te, Ti, Tl, V, Zn (that is,
     all  main group elements except the noble gases, and the first row of tran-
     sition metals) and the abbreviations Ac, Ade, Bn, Bu, iBu,  tBu,  Bz,  BOC,
     Cyt,  CE,	DBAM,  DMAM, DMTr, Et, Gua, Me, Ms, MOC, MOM, MMTr, Ph, Pr, iPr,
     Tf, Thy, Tol, Tr, Ts, TBDMS, TBDPS, TMS, TMTr, Ura, Z.
     It can handle two levels of parentheses; e.g. P[OCH(CH_3)_2]_3.
     When cht detects any duplicate (overlapping) bonds in the drawing file,  it
     will  prepend  an exclamation mark to the calculated (and likely wrong) sum
     formula.

OPTIONS
     Cht understands the following options.

     -h , --help
	    Displays brief help and list of options.

     -e , --exact
	    Calculate exact mass for MS.

     -v , --verbose
	    Be verbose.

     -d , --debug
	    Be extremely verbose.

BUGS
     Cht can misinterpret molecules that contain the 'aromatic ring' symbol,  as
     it  uses  a fixed search radius to identify the aromatic system that it de-
     notes.  It also does not handle the 'partial double bond',  so  you  should
     avoid these two in drawings that you intend to use with cht.

     A	label  that  is offset from the corresponding bond end by more than five
     pixels is not recognized, so that the default CH2 or CH3 group  enters  the
     calculation in its place.

     In  general, one should check the plausibility of the generated sum formula
     wherever possible.
