 Hi Oscar,
 Many programs calculate Connolly surfaces, but to name just a couple, you may
 want to take a look at:
 UCSF Chimera (currently uses Sanner's MSMS for surface calculation) - free
 download for noncommercial use
 http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/index.html
 DMS - open source, also downloadable from the UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
 http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/Overview/software.html#dms
 http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/dms1.html
 If you are referring not only to the surfaces but to the output file format,
 both Chimera and DMS can write out dot surfaces of that type.
 Best,
 Elaine
