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	avail-
       able 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 transition	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 denotes.  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 en-
       ters the	calculation in its place.

       In general, one should check the	plausibility of	the generated sum for-
       mula wherever possible.
