[Molvis-list] RasMol RasWin installer testers needed

[Herbert J. Bernstein]

Dear Chris,

   Thank you.  This is very helpful.

   The command window starts minimized.  You should find it in the task
bar at the bottom of your screen.

   You are right, I should offer the install option of adding
the install directory to the path.

   Commands go into the RasWin command window, not the shell that
started it to be consistent with the double click style of
starting.  I am hitting a problem in the other direction
under Mac OS X X11 and Linux X11, in which multilingual support is
easier if I have those two start their own command windows
instead of the current practice of using the external shell
window.  I am open to suggestions on what would make users
most comfortable, but now that we are close to release of
the Chinese and Japanese versions, easy language switching
is critical.

   This is not a cygwin version.  It is a native windows version.
I will try to see if I can make it smart enough to cope with
coming in via bash.

   Tell me more about your mouse.  What would you like the
scroll wheel to scroll by default?

   Regards,
     Herbert
