BETA

This page is reserved for released Beta versions of Kintecus.

The beta version of Kintecus 2025 has been released. This version can graphically display a chemical network in myriad ways by simply including a command line switch
"-chemnet". Many examples are given in the documentation. This version also combines the internal, automatic illegal loop identification with the graphical display, allowing easy highlighting of illegal loops. The full description is in the documentation in the zip file on the Beta page.

1) This Kintecus version can output graphviz text files and plots.This plotting ability requires the Graphviz system to be located within the “./Kintecus/.” directory such as “C:\Kintecus\Graphviz\*” and the related binaries such as “C:\Kintecus\Graphviz\bin\dot.exe” and “C:\Kintecus\Graphviz\neato.exe”
and many other programs. If Graphviz is not present, please download the Windows (or Linux) version and extract the system into the “./Kintecus/” path such as “C:\Kintecus\”.
The Graphiz system should be included in this zip file

2) Go to wherever "kintecus.exe" is installed. This is usually "C:\Kintecus\". Rename the current "kintecus.exe" to anything you want such as "kintecus_old.exe".
Move or copy the new "Kintecus.exe" in this zip file to that same directory.

3) Copy the rest of this zip file (don't forget the Graphiz subdirectory .\Graphviz\ to "C:\Kintecus" too.)

4) Try one of the sample Kintecus-chemical models (ie. click RUN on the CONTROL panel). MSpaint should automatically display the graphic network, if not, go to "C:\Kintecus" to view your "chemnetwork.jpg" or "chemnetwork.png"
