 Following the CCL discussion on Java 3D molecular viewers,
 we would like to announce the release of a new Java-based
 molecular interaction visualization  and analysis software,
 MolSurfer, available from our webserver and to download
 (see:
 http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/ExternalInfo/wade/pub/soft/molsurfer.html).
 This software is a graphical tool for studying protein-protein
 interfaces. It links a 2D projection of a protein-protein
 interface to a 3D view of the protein structures.
 This Java-based software uses the representation of the protein-
 protein interface generated by ADSI, the interface-mapping
 module of ADS (analytically defined surfaces) software [1],
 and WebMol, a Java-based PDB viewer [2].
 It is described in this month's issue of TIBS [3].
 Please try out MolSurfer. All feedback appreciated.
