Check out the March 1991 issue of Journal of Molecular Graphics in your
favorite science library. Also included are color screen shots of their
results (with NeXTdimension).

Abstract (printed without permission)

"The amazing revolution in computer hardware performance and cost reduction
has yet to be carried over to computer software. In fact, application
software today is often more expensive and less reliable than the hardware.
New enhancements in software development techniques, such as object oriented
programming and interactive graphics based user interface design, finally
may be having a significant impact on the time-to-market and reliability of
these application programs. We discuss our experiences using one such set
of software development tools available on the NeXT workstation and
describe the effort required to port our MidasPlus molecular modeling
package to the NeXT workstation."

Keywords: interactive molecular graphics, desktop molecular modeling, NeXT
workstation.
