✦ Synopsis
The computer program CASPER for structural analysis has been tested on some oligosaccharides. The program is shown to predict the correct structure of five linear or branched tri- to hexasaccharides using information on components and linkage positions and NMR chemical shifts. Theoligosaccharides are either reducting or methyl glycosides.

We have recently shown that structural investigations of regular polysaccharides can be performed rapidly by computer-assisted analysis using the computer program CASPERQ. This uses data from sugar and methylation analysis together with the unassigned 'H-or 13C-n.m.r. spectrum or the two-dimensional

## Abstract An interactive system of programs has been developed to assist in structure elucidation based on mass spectral data. The program relies on algorithms for generating all the structural isomers that constitute alternative explanations of the observed data and it associates relative plausi
