The CompuChem Manufacturer Version 6.0 for Microsoft Windows^© is compatible with all of the current versions of Windows ie: Windows95/ 98/ ME /2000 and Windows NT. CompuChem V6 is a fully integrated 32bit application, which offers all the advantages of modern software technology.

If you use the current (CompuChem 5) version, there is a utility: 'CNVDAT' for upgrading your data (formulations; raw materials etc.) for use on the Windows^© platform, this is an automatic process and can be done very quickly. You can find this utility with the other downloads on this page.

Please note that we recommend the use of The CompuChem Manufacturer on either Windows^© 98 Second Edition or Windows^© 2000 Professional as opposed to Windows^© Millennium Edition (ME) or Windows^© XP as there have been reports of performance hassles with the latter two versions of the operating system.
