Chemical MIME type Examples

 Announcing two Web pages illustrating the application of Chemical MIME
 ___________________________________________________________
 As part of a program to illustrate how "live" chemistry can be
 exported on
 the Internet, we have considerably extended our "mime" action page.
 Connect to;
 http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/chemical_mime.html or
 http://chem.leeds.ac.uk/Project/MIME.html
 Here we have put hyperlinks into a number of files in various formats such
 as pdb,
 MOPAC and Gaussian and suggested helper programs that can read these files
 and visualise them.
 We illustrate the use of RasMol, XMol and Explorer EyeChem. The latter suite
 was written by Omer Casher, and provides a set of modular tools to visualise
 molecular properties. We show how a MOPAC FORCE calculation can be read
 and animated, how a Gaussian G92 optimisation can be animated, how a pdb
 file can be ribbon rendered and how a collaborative
 visualisation involving two separate sites can be achieved.
 Many other permutations of the  EyeChem modules are possible, and a
 few more will appear over the next few days.
 All three programs are freely distributable, and can
 be downloaded from ftp archives. Hyperlinks to do this are built into the
 pages. The EyeChem modules were first released
 on the IRIX 5.2 CD-ROM installation set, but updated versions are available from
 our ftp server, along with scripts and installation instructions. You will
 need to
 use an SGI machine running Irix 5.2 and Explorer 2.2 to use EyeChem.
 If anyone wishes to put up similar examples of chemical MIME in action,
 perhaps illustrating a different set of files (see
 http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/internet/
 for the chemical MIME Internet draft) please let us know so that we can
 link to them.
  If other helper  programs have been used, we would also be interested
 (initially, we would prefer "free" programs that can be downloaded by
 users
  from ftp archives).
