IUPAC names for things

Rick,
Quite a while back* you asked if anyone knew IUPAC standards for naming substances.  I took some time to find out more about those standards, and I sorry to report that they go way over my head...   :-)  
Good luck with them anyway.

From 20020703:
>One of these days, I'll come up with a system for naming chemical
compounds in Katanda.  Do any chemists out there want to give it a try?
I definitely want to use the IUPAC system as a guideline and I will
avoid duplication.  For example, Katanda will have something like
"methylpropane", rather than both it and something like the more
commonly used "isobutane".  [If you don't know what I'm talking about,
then nevermind.  :-) ]
