+'chem' is a 'roff' language to generate chemical structure diagrams.
+'@g@chem' is a 'groff' preprocessor that produces output suitable for
+the '@g@pic' preprocessor.
+
+The original version of 'chem' is an 'awk' script written by Brian
+Kernighan <http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/bwk/index.html>.  The
+source files of the 'awk' version of 'chem' are available at
+<http://cm.bell-labs.com/netlib/typesetting/chem.gz>.
+
+This project is a rewrite of 'chem' in Perl for the GNU 'roff' project
+'groff'.  It was written under Perl v5.8.8, but at least Perl v5.6 is
+needed to run the Perl version of 'chem'.
+
+In comparison to the original 'awk' version of 'chem', the Perl
+version does the following changements:
+- the options -h, --help, -v, --version to output usage and version
+information are added.
+- remove some functions 'inline', 'shiftfields', and 'set' and some
+variables that are used only once.
+
+The subdirectory 'examples/' contains example files for chem.  They
+are written in the 'chem' language.  The file names end with .chem.
