I think pymol uses or can use apbs, which is probably pretty accurate - as far as you can call 'electrostatic surface potential calculation' accurate at all. Do people ever publish their solvent conditions used for the calculation when publishing their beautiful red/blue pictures - which anyhow usually come with blue and red flipped w.r.t. common sense...

Hi Xu

ccp4mg does a great job on surfaces and electrostatics and uses the similar 
energy calcs as GRASP (www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~ccp4mg/ccp4mg_help/surfaces.html ).

PYMOL also has a very nice surface rendering function, but the electrostatics 
is more rough and ready and comes with a bunch of disclaimers about its 
accuracy.

Hello everyone,

       Is there alternative program to GRASP that is proved-accurate and
more user-friendly and OS-friendly?

Thanks for your input !
