[comp.sys.mac.apps] Molecular modeling/visualization

pjd@lanl.gov (Paul Dotson) (02/07/91)

I am interested in software packages for looking at
models of molecules. It should be able to:
o read in data files of positions of atoms
o be able to rotate the viewing angle
o additional annotation to pictures
o color ?

If anyone has had any experiance with 
packages that have capabilities like these
please drop me an email message.
