[Molvis-list] Rasmolify PyMOL? (Dan Bolser)

[Paul Craig]

Hi Folks,

Groups at Dowling College (with Herbert Bernstein) and RIT (with Paul  
Craig) have been working on converting Rasmol scripts to PyMOL and  
have developed a PyMOL plug-in called ConScript.  Here is a link to  
download a compressed file that contains the ConScript.py file and a  
readme file with installation instructions.

http://blondie.dowling.edu/frs//download.php/436/ConScript_0.9.tar.gz

A couple caveats - we're still working on a couple problems we know  
about:   the pause command does not convert yet. Also, ConScipt.py is  
not equipped to handle comments in the .spt files.

Please send us your comments and suggestions. You can send them to me  
at paul.craig at rit.edu or to our group at sbevsl at arcib.org.

Scott Mottarella, the student who has done most of the work, will be  
presenting a poster at the ASBMB meeting in San Diego in April, and  
poster or talk (still waiting to hear) at the ACA meeting in  
Knoxville, TN, May 31-June 5.  Hope to meet some of you there.

Paul
