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 software
released  under GNU  GPL
