Select the Start Button on the Windows Desktop. Select Programs. Look for the NIST Mass Spectral Database folder and select it. Select the program Lib2NIST Converter and Follow the prompts. If you have a structures library that is associated with the GC/MS MSD ChemStation mass spectral database, make sure the *.IND and *.SBD files for that structures DB are in the *.L folder that defines the MSD ChemStation mass spectral database. These structures will then be associated with the created NIST MS Database.
