Smormo-Ed is an editor for small organic molecules. It tries to be as simple as possible. It keeps track of stereoisomerism and tries to detect aromatic rings. It allows the user to indicate isotopes and set charges on atoms. It is (often) able to read and write SMILES, cml files and term files (but not config rules) like those from the Klotho project. Smormoed can export to Dia's file format. It is designed so it can be invoked from a scripting language; in addition to having a GUI, smormoed listens on stdin and responds to commands on stdout. Here is an example of how to use smormoed and dia and latex to make a chemistry lab report.
Smormo-namer is a utility which reads smormoed's native format, and attempts to name the molecule stored in it. It is far from complete. Smormoed's "Molecule Information" window (under the File menu) can be used to call smormo-namer. Sometimes, smormo-namer will produce several possibilities for the name of a molecule. It will output all of them, one per line. The better names will generally be earlier in the list.
Smormoed is released under the Modified BSD license.
To build this, you'll need
glib2,
gtk2,
pango,
libxml2,
zlib and
gnu make.
On newer Linux installations, you'll probably already have these.
