There are a large number of physical property
limits. They occur as three fields on a line. For example:
MIN_HETEROATOMS 2 "Minimum number of heteroatoms"
The first field is the property keyword, the second field is the value assigned
to that keyword, and the third field is a brief informational message. There
are a fixed number of physical property keywords. No additional physical
property keywords can be added by the user. The current keywords and a brief
definitions of each are included below.
