Julian Tirado-Rives and myself have written a SunView based
molecular display and analysis program called MindTool. The program
runs on Sun's and displays the 3-D structures of molecules in
wireframe and ball-n-stick format. Hardcopy output in PostScript
format can be sent to a LaserWriter or file (valid EPS) for inclusion
in documents. (cf., Blake, J.F.; Jorgensen, W.L. J. Am. Chem. Soc.
1990, 112, 7269.) One may annotate plots with text, lines, arrows, and
arcs. A utility program, mugs, may be used on saved PostScript files to
place many pictures on a page.
A copy of the MindTool program and related libraries can be
transferred from: rani.chem.yale.edu (130.132.25.65). Login via
anonymous ftp and cd to "pub/MindTool", get the README file. The tar
file mindtool.tar.Z should be transferred in binary mode and installed
as in the README file.
