 Also swisspdb viewer ( http://www.expasy.org/spdbv/text/download.htm )   can
 do this:
 Select - neighbors of selected aa:
 Within distance
 If you want to do this with multiple files (for example: You want all aa
 around a ligand),  you can use something like perlmol
 (to be found on: http://www.perlmol.org/ )
 and than the module: midas pattern
 There`s also a solution for python i think its`s called mdtools
 (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Development/MDTools/ )
 and some other molecular toolkits around.
 Greetings,
 Florian
