The code is in Java: do C or C++ equivalents exist? I found the link to this blog on sourceforge, which provides your code and schemas for working with CML.

Probably around 1992-1993, the student chemical society at Imperial College invited Peter to give a talk. He chose the topic of crystallography, but in characteristic fashion, delivered a scintillating talk covering, well probably almost all of chemistry! I chatted to him after his talk, and one of us must have mentioned the Internet. The topic might have been Gophers (anyone remember them?) and what their potential was. This, in both our memories, is now immortalised by our next meeting, in the Black Horse pub in Greenford. I might add a little information on how Peter and I met.

I notice that it introduced the concept of what is now referred to as <i>data round tripping</i>. The idea was to formalise and normalise both the input and output of a computer program so that the latter could reliably serve as an input. I was in Chicago at the time, and Peter was back in the UK, at a terminal, waiting for comments from the audience to come flooding in! In fact, when we got to the Hotel room that the ACS session occurred in, we discovered no trace of any Internet connection (anywhere) and could not communicate. Peter sat in an unrequited silence throughout the entire presentation!
