Dear all, with some delay (due to a rather interesting drug design course last week), I am proud to announce the release v7 of Jmol. Changes since v6 A much faster implementation of the rebonding algorithm is now used. VASP and Gaussian 03 readers were added. Reading of Jaguar 4.2.77, ABINIT, and AcesII files was fixed. Many thanx to the users and the developers for noticing and fixing these issues. About Jmol Jmol is a Java molecular viewer for three-dimensional chemical structures, both molecular and condensed. Features include reading a variety of file types and output from quantum chemistry programs. Multi-frame files can be animated and normal modes displayed as calculated with quantum programs. Jmol supports Chime and Rasmol scripts, and the applet can be addressed with JavaScript. The application runs on J2SE 1.4 systems, but the applet runs even on old Java 1.1 systems, such as the Netscape 4.5/4.7 browsers. More information about the project can be found at the website, which features examples of the applet and a few screenshots of the application: http://jmol.sf.net/ Jmol is OpenSource and licensed with the GNU LGPL license. The Future Work is undergoing to hava Jmol support more file types, including output of programs which is divided over several files. In addition, a true from-scratch 3D engine is being written that will allow for even more astoundishing graphics including molecular surfaces. kind regards, Egon Willighagen chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.
