OpenGL library for Scientific Research; Genetic Algorithms; Gaussian Curve Regression in Force Fields

I have just posted two new products free to anyone who wishes to download
 and use them; both compiled binaries and source is included. The first is an
 MS-DOS program which finds protein tertiary conformations using a very extensive
 genetic algorithm, with many features such as quantitative inheritance and
 implementation of Fischer's theorem (which balances exploration versus
 exploitation). The force field used is a new method, using the classical Coulumb
 expression of nuclear energy coupled with an electronic energy term calculated
 using Gaussian curves regressed to quantum mechanics calculations on
 dielectronic species. The term also attempts to take into account
 electron-electron repulsion and shielding effects. In tests, it seems to have
 done a well job predicting hydrogen-bonding distances as well as London
 dispersion forces, though the total energy curve is not quite shaped right at
 very far distances (this can be dealt with in several ways). A paper in PDF
 format is also available, to help you understand the theory and methodology
 behind these methods. The program is available both as a compiled DOS
 executable, and also contains complete C source code.
 The second product is an OpenGL library for scientific researchers to implement
 in their programs. This can save a great amount of time in reducing your
 graphics code to a minimum, off-loading everything to this library. The full
 code is included so you can modify it as you wish. It is tailored for Windows
 95/98/NT platforms, but can be easily modified to work on other operating
 systems (XWindows, Mac OS, OS/2, etc.) that support OpenGL. It does, of course,
 support hardware acceleration, which can help give more processor time to
 CPU-intensive calculations while still providing real-time graphics. The code is
 in C++, and is thus only of use to C++ programmers. An example, both in source
 code and compiled, is also provided to demonstrate the capabilities of this
 library. The library can also be interfaced with PC-GAMESS (or other versions of
 GAMESS) to render Connolly surfaces, geodesic surfaces, electron density
 contours, electrostatic potential contours, and full electron density plots, all
 with complete control over alpha-blending! You can also display your molecular
 models in vector, tube, ball-and-stick, and CPK models, and control wire-frame
 rendering or semi-transparency values, add dynamic lighting, and varying levels
 of rendering quality. Support for protein models will hopefully be added soon.
