I've updated the rasmol 3d molecular model displayer to release 2.7.1
and made it the Athena default for all platforms. From my announcement
message to users:
****
A new Rasmol release, version 2.7.1, has been installed for all platforms
and made the Athena default. This version will work with the default Athena
24 bit screen depth, and no longer requires that you restart the X server
in 8 bit mode. If you are in 8 bit mode, it may print a message:
No suitable display detected!
You can still run the old 2.6 version (but will need to log out and
restart the X server in 8 bit mode first) by typing;
add rasmol
rasmol -ver 2.6
New features are listed at http://web.mit.edu/rasmol_v2.7.1/ChangeLog.html,
and an online manual is at http://web.mit.edu/rasmol_v2.7.1/www/rasmol.html
(or in pdf format at http://web.mit.edu/rasmol_v2.7.1/www/manualUS.pdf).
Sample molecule description files are in the /mit/rasmol_v2.7.1/data directory.
Other useful information is in various READMEs in text and html format at
the top level of the locker (/mit/rasmol_v2.7.1).
****
Configuration/installation problems, if any, can be reported directly to me.
