Roger of course contributed Rasmol, of which a fair bit of code was probably used in the original versions of Jmol. In case any on this list do not know the history, prior to ~1991, the idea of real time rendered rotation of large biomolecular structures on a mere “personal computer” was considered a fantasy; you needed a “real graphics workstation” to do this, if not an Evans and Sutherland, then certainly a Silicon Graphics. It was Rasmol that changed all of that.It was also Rasmol that was first deployed on a Web page (you may know that instance as Chime, but that was really Rasmol).
