That is correct. I am unable to work on this item because of a pending grant application. > RasMol used *.P for backbone and trace and the RasMol cartoon isn't very > nice, this could be made better.

I have never seen MIDAS nor MolMol. Rendering an arrow would be easy to do. Someone would need to tell me where to put it. This work would also need to be delayed because of the pending grant application. > The selection syntax shouldn't be a big problem, because in selection > expression floats occur only within a (within) function. > But even > select [C]3:A.O5* > is not working at the moment > http://www.imb-jena.de/cgi-bin/SCOPlnk.exe?JMOL=264d > in current RasMol > select [C]3:A.O5* > select C3:A.O5* > select C3A.O5* > all select the same expected atom. It is not clear to me what role the * is playing in these expressions. Is it a wild-card? Or is it a ' prime ?
