Blake) Original-subject: MindTool availability for molecular visualization. Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) Julian Tirado-Rives and myself have written a SunView based molecular display and analysis program called MindTool. The program runs on Sun's and displays the 3-D structures of molecules in wireframe and ball-n-stick format. Hardcopy output in PostScript format can be sent to a LaserWriter or file (valid EPS) for inclusion in documents. (cf., Blake, J.F.; Jorgensen, W.L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, 7269.) One may annotate plots with text, lines, arrows, and arcs. A utility program, mugs, may be used on saved PostScript files to place many pictures on a page. A copy of the MindTool program and related libraries can be transferred from: rani.chem.yale.edu (130.132.25.65). Login via anonymous ftp and cd to "pub/MindTool", get the README file. The tar file mindtool.tar.Z should be transferred in binary mode and installed as in the README file.
