Does anyone know of any good free access chemical drawing packages that could be used in schools?

Just downloaded Chemsketch and it seems to do an awful lot.

In addition to being able to draw organic chemical structures that look really professional, there are templates for many common natural compounds.

I like the feature that names a compound for you.

A very promising FREE alternative to Chemdraw. And it saves in a variety of formats including Chemdraw!
