[ale] Any Chemical types here?

[Tom Freeman]

I've got it, and had it. It does a lovely job of 3D displays, and is a joy 
to use (so far). But my need is for the really old fashioned 2D, printed 
projection type stuff, and so far, I haven't discovered how to get that 
out of Avogadro.

Thanks for the the lead tho.
