I haven't seen anything comparable to MolScript for power and
customizability (is that a word?). Since MolScript doesn't rely on any
graphics, I wouldn't think that it would be very difficult to port it to
another platform. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone with a Mac Fortran
compiler...
If Per Kraulis is reading this, I wonder if he could enlighten us
as to whether he or anyone else has any plans on porting MolScript to the
Mac or PC...
