Atom colors can be changed through the RasMol scripting commands: select carbon color atoms [xRRGGBB] select hydrogen color atoms hotpink select oxygen color atoms [100, 200, 50] > 2) Is there > a way that one can calculate interatomic distances?

From a script, you can use the RasMol script command 'monitor <atomIndex1> <atomIndex2>' to measure a distance. However, the mouse gestures to allow end-users to make their own measurements are not currently implemented in the applet. This will be added in a future version. > Furthermore, I have a > very general question. I read that Jmol did work perfectly with Mac OS > X. If you read something that says it works "perfectly" then that is not true :-( None of the browsers on OS X support LiveConnect communications between JavaScript and Java Applets, so there is no clean mechanism for scripting using JavaScript. Nevertheless, scripting can be accomplished on OS X using the JmolAppletControl mechanism of adding applet buttons. This code is currently in beta test and is not well documented. But if you have some experience with web development you should be able to figure it out quickly. > Is there any news of improvements with Panther (10.3), which seems to > have Java 1.4 and the latest version of Safari ???? The news is not good for Panther. The Jmol application does not work. I have filed a bug report with Apple. The JmolApplet, on the other hand, seems to work OK. It continues to have the same JavaScript limitations. The easiest way to check out the behavior of the applet on a particular platform is to go to: http://jmol.sourceforge.net/preview Miguel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
