Testers are needed for a new windows release of RasMol. The installer is available at: http://blondie.dowling.edu/frs/download.php/124/RasWin_2_7_3_1_Install.exe and the source kit is available at: http://blondie.dowling.edu/frs/download.php/125/rasmol_2.7.3.1_ru_3Nov06.tar.gz The source kit should only be used for windows builds. The matching changes for Mac and Unix/Linux builds are still under development. This version incorporates the new Russian translations of menus and messages by Gregory A. Pozhvanov, in addition to the previously available, English, Spanish, Italian and French versions. Our thanks to Isabel Servan Martinez, Jose Miguel Fernandez Fernandez, Fernando Gabriel Ranea, Jean-Pierre Demailly, Giuseppe Martini, Giovanni Paolella, A. Davassi, M. Masullo, C. Liotto for the currently available translations, as well as to G. Pozhvanov for this new Russian translation and to Mamoru Yamanish, who is working on the Japanese version and improvements to integration with Mac OS X. We believe that the changes in this version are close to being ready for full release, with the following items on the "punch list": 1. Corrections to the icon masks 2. Final adaptation for Mac classic 3. Alignment of changes to the Unix/Linux/Mac OS X X11 versions When those changes are completed, if they prove satisfactory, the full set of changes will become RasMol 2.7.4 If you are interested in helping to test this version, please download the install kit to a windows machine and give it a try.
