1.2 What You Should Already Know

   This manual assumes a knowledge of basic OEChem objects: molecules, atoms, and bonds. The examples section is written in different programming languages to illustrate the use of Spicoli in these languages. However, the theory and reference sections use only C++ syntax so a basic understanding of C++ will be helpful to the reader. Since OESpicoli depends upon OEChem, current and future versions of OESpicoli will require an OEChem license.
