I'm sure this can be done but perhaps some kind soul will please tell
me how? I want to display a salt, say MgO, using a .pdb file, or any
other format that *both* Chime and the Chem3D plug-ins will both
display properly. The radius of oxygen in this environment, as O2-,
is larger than a covalent oxygen atom radius. I see no way with a
.pdb file to specify a radius for atoms, and so to over ride the
defaults. Suggestions please!

We are proud to announce that the ExemplarChem Summer Exhibition
is now available for viewing at
http://www.chemsoc.org/exemplarchem/
Please note that the exhibition is not yet complete, and new entries
will continue to be added during the next few weeks.
We also wish to thank all our sponsors, who have been very
generous in their support. A page showing them all will go
up soon at the Exhibition site.
Please also note that the Exhibition will culminate with a 1-day
event in London on September 29th. Details of this program for this
day will be posted soon at the Exemplarchem site.

Hello
Thank you very much for your valuable comments on my copyright question.
I am certainly on the safe side when I get the OK from the original
publisher and/or the author.
It looks as if the whole problem is much more complex as I even imagined.
Atomic coordinates are probably not the pure data as they seem to be, as we
measure intensities of the reflected X-rays and calculate the coordinates
from those. So the pure data are the intensities.
Despite the understandable need for protecting own data, I find it a little
bit doubtful that published data are not the correct data - addition of that
watermark mentioned by Frank Oellien. That goes in the wrong direction. That
resembles the practice of some people/companies to "not tell everything" in
published procedures in patents (and also publications).
In my oppinion, published data need to be true and reliable. Otherwise we
will come to the situation where we publish an abstract and a sentence like
"Send me a cheque and I will send you the real data." (Exaggerated, I hope.)
Off course, I do not think that Frank Oellien and his co-workers plan to do
so. I understand their intention well. I have also problems understanding
why some people (even already famous professors) cheat so much in not making
reference to other people's work.
It would be interesting if Frank Oellien could add some further comments on
that topic, e.g., the the outcome of that thesis, title, URL.
This watermark method has been recently discussed and used in published
pictures on the internet and I have heard some intentions/tests with text
files too (sorry, don't remember where I read it).
Does chemical data do get a watermark in the future ? How do we watermark a
synthesis ?
That's interesting and I hope for some further insights and comments.
Regards
Michael

Apologies for the apparent lack of a chemical theme! No doubt inspired
by the recent claim by BT that it "owns the patent" on the hyperlink,
the following gives a concise history of the Web;
http://www.w3.org/History.html
Does anyone know of any attempts to compile the chemical history?

All the recent messages and the discussion about copyright are very
interesting. It may be interesting to report my experience with a website
at WHO (World Health Organisation). In springtime 1999 there was an
announcement for a permanent education program on environmental health and
I sent a course (about 20 slides and text) entitled "Occupational Hygiene
- an introductory course" that was accepted and appeared at the website
http://www.who.int/peh-super/OCCUPATIONAL/index.htm
on August. There was no agreement about copyright. On February 2000
website and all courses of the permanent education program simply
disappeared. I sent two e-mails to ask for explanation and possibly for
consent to use the course on another website, but never got any answer. How
do you call that behaviour?
Best regards and compliments
