Bist stands  for bidimensional structures  (in italian it  sounds like
"beast" in english ) and is  a chemical drawing tool. It is focused on
organic  chemistry but  may  it may  be  useful also  for chemists  or
teacher as well.

Bist  support  many  of  the  formalism  used  to  describe  molecoles
structures  like  single   bond,  double  bond,  stereospecific  bond,
charges, resonance arrows, lone pairs etc...

It can export both postscript and png formats.

Currently portability  is not  my goal so  only GNU/Linux  platform is
supported. However any effort in this direction is appreciated so feel
free to ask  me about any porting question.  Please remember that bist
is actually in  a beta stage of development so  i strongly suggest you
to not  using it except for  testing or hacking purpose.  Bist is free
