Oops, sorry! (and cool that you are still listening in!)

For now, I'll go with what 'isosurface volume' gives me. The context
is that someone asked on the Bioclipse list for a volume descriptor...
so, I might in fact end up using Jmol to become a QSAR descriptor
calculation engine :) Or maybe I'll port the code to the CDK...

In either case, neither of these this month, but hopefully over the
summer holidays...

I also found this approximation method, using atomic contributions and
a parameterized correction factor:
