Further information about the course contents:

INTRODUCTION TO CROSSFIRE
An introductory course, aimed at all new and potential CrossFire 
users, covering the basics of the database and how to search by fact 
or structure. Suitable for chemists and non-chemists. The 
session will include presentations about the background to the 
database and support from MIMAS and demonstrations of CrossFire. 
There will also be a substantial hands-on session in which all 
participants will be encouraged to use the CrossFire system for 
themselves.

GETTING MORE FROM CROSSFIRE
More advanced features of the system, such as reaction searching, 
stereochemistry and use of generic groups will be described for 
chemists with some experience of using CrossFire (or who have 
attended the introductory course). Participants will also be 
introduced to the new EcoPharm information in CrossFire, the 
CrossFire for Excel client and AutoNom. A substantial part of the 
course will again be hands-on practice and we will be pleased to help 
with any problems you may be experiencing with CrossFire.
