Announcing MolViewer 0.91  (still for NeXTStep only)
-------------------------
Well, I decided to put out another interim release of MolViewer. The new  
release has several bug fixes and some new features mostly relating to protein  
chemistry. As a relatively minor release, I did not have anyone beta test it,  
so there may still be a few bugs lurking around. This is a binary only release.  
I don't have 3.1 yet, so it will only run on black hardware. It should only  
require recompilation to work on the Intel version of NS, so if anyone is  
interested, I can send them the new source to recompile ...

As always, MV can be obtained from ion.rice.edu, and I will upload to  
sonata.cc.purdue.edu and cs.orst.edu.

Here's a partial list of the changes in this version:

The protein tool has been substantially improved for viewing long protein  
sequences. It is now possible to select a subset of the full sequence for the  
helical wheel diagram and molecule generation. PLEASE READ THE DOCS BEFORE  
TRYING TO USE THIS!

The amino acid inspector now contains buttons for several standard protein  
conformations. 

Molecules can now be saved as .HIN files (Hypechem). This feature is not fully  
supported yet. It is sufficient to transfer basic molecular structures to  
hyperchem.

The color selection in the preferences inspector is now done with a standard  
color well instead of entering RGB values.

Fixed a bug that caused occasional crashes and improper atom selection when the  
"make one" button is pressed.

THR residues are now recognized correctly.

As always, comments and suggestions are more than welcome!
