This is version 1.2b1 and is the first version that can run with OpenGL and on non-SGIs. For more information about VMD see its home page at http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/ or the ftp site at ftp://ftp.ks.uiuc.edu/pub/mdscope/vmd/ . VMD comes with complete source (no license or fee needed) as well as procompiled binaries for IRIX 5.x/6.x (based on GL), HP-UX 9/10 (based on Mesa/OpenGL), and Linux (based on Mesa/OpenGL). The web page describes many of its capabilities, but the ones I think are of key interest to this list are that VMD: Implements most standard representation methods Animate trajectories, including DCD and Amber files as well as ... Gaussian output (and others) automatically translated by Babel Outputs to VRML, POV-Ray, Raster3D, Radiance, Postscript and others Extensive Tcl-based scripting language for molecular analysis If there are questions about VMD, please send them to us at vmd@ks.uiuc.edu.
