What fascinated the organic chemists is that the authors were other organic chemists.
MESTRENOVA ANNOTATION DOWNLOAD
Until last year you could still download a new version every time your old demo had expired.
MESTRENOVA ANNOTATION SOFTWARE
Mestre-C is very popular because it was the first free NMR software for Windows, has been adequately promoted, and the migration to a commercial product has been gradual.
It may happen that you can undo a processing command (I prefer reloading the FID, and I have plenty of serious reasons for preferring it) but if you press the wrong key or click the wrong icon, you can't undo. Certainly there is the Undo command, but it is not constantly enabled. How do you call it: user-unfriendliness? Using Mestre-C is like dealing with a known thief the difference is that, instead of keeping your hands into your pockets, you save very frequently, to prevent damages like this. This has been my experience and the experience of the colleagues I have talked with. The best thing you can do is to close the document without saving the changes and open it again. Sorry, there is no command to hide the annotations. You say: "OK, I'll think about it later now I hide the annotations". There is a bug, never corrected, and the effect is that the annotations don't remember their position. When you realize that all annotations have changed position, it's too late for undoing. There is a multiplet you want to observe in detail. You worked for 30 minutes, the results looks nice. Let's say you have assigned and annotated your spectrum: near each peak there is a label pointing to the corresponding atom. I hope not to found the bugs and, most of all, the heavy mentality of Mestre-C.Ī not so little detail gives the idea of what Mestre-C has always been, namely an unfinished product. Mestrelab has assured me that their new program is 100% new. Even TopSpin probably contains parts of older programs (some part probably even predates XWin-NMR). Varian preferred to put a new dress over VNMR, and created VNMRJ, which is a dress more than a computer program. The makers had concluded that the old program needed drastic changes, and went for what I always consider the best solution: a fresh new start. MestreNova has been written from scratch: it can be considered a brand new product whose function is to supersede Mestre-C. Everybody seems to know Mestre-C, instead, and I will analyze it. Mestrelab has announced that, during this week, they will reveal to the world the alpha version of MestreNova.
