This is the thing I'musing, whatever it's called:
http://trantor.bioc.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/GRASS/surfserv_enter.cgi

There's nothing wrong with its surfaces except that they're rather
coarsely triangulated, so I end up having to smooth and subdivide
them.  That's not difficult, but it does come at some cost in
accuracy...I'm sitting here viewing the more finely triangulated
surfaces that Chime and SPdbV can generate, and wondering if I'm being
a dope by not seeing any way to export them.

Thanks,
