Remarks

Remarks
The Chemical Database Service at Daresbury has now ceased providing general user access. An EPSRC funded national service is now operated by the Royal Society of Chemistry. For further details of this service go to the CDS/RSC website: http://cds.rsc.org/. Please note, however, that access to various components of the original CDS at Daresbury is still possible from within the STFC domain. Daresbury now offers reduced database access, but "CrystalWorks" developments continue here.
