The first Molecule of the Month for the new millennium is, appropriately, DNA, and is available in all four versions (HTML-only, Chime, Java and VRML).

The VRML version contains a quite big file (1.3Mo) which may discourage users to download. One tip about big VRML files : The best (?) VRML viewer, Cosmo Player, is able to read gzipped VRML files. The compression factor is generally better than 10:1. The trick is to apply gzip : gzip *.wrl This produces a series of *.wrl.gz filles which you may rename as *.wrl (suppressing .gz). Those files are read directly by Cosmo Player (and may be other VRML viewers, but I don't know exactly). If you want to recover the original files, rename all those compressed files as *.wrl.gz and un-gzip them by : gzip -d *.wrl.gz Happy Y2K, Armel Le bail http://www.cristal.org/ chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.
