Re_View automates the POV interface and will automatically create AAWin animations. Its also extremely easy to generate Mpegs. If you want to depict multiple/partial bonds as well and automatic Mpgeg production then Re_View2 is what you need. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Dr. Jeff Gosper, Dept. of Chemistry, BRUNEL University Uxbridge Middx UB8 3PH, UK voice: 01895 274000 x2187, facsim: 01895 256844 internet/email/work: Jeffrey.Gosper@brunel.ac.uk internet/WWW: http://www.brunel.ac.uk/~castjjg Re_View's home page (molecular animations or Chem-4D): http://www.brunel.ac.uk/depts/chem/ch241s/re_view/re_view.htm \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
