RasMol.app is here, the NEXTSTEP version of the
Roger Sayle's popular molecular graphics program.

RasMol.app provides full RasMol functionality, plus a few NEXTSTEP
niceties such as an OpenPanel, PrintPanel and a comfortable editable
text port. Future versions may include a few more bells and whistles.

You can compile RasMol fat, but if you have several computers
on a network with different graphics resolutions, you will still
have to compile up to three different versions, TWOBIT for
monochrome systems, SIXTEENBIT for twelve bit color systems
and THIRTYTWOBIT for true color systems. The corresponding
compile flag can be found in "rasmol.h". For Networks, the
recommended procedure is to install applicable versions in
directories /LocalApps/{8,16,32}bit, make a symbolic link
"/LocalApps/RasMol.app -> /usr/graphics/RasMol.app" and make a
symbolic link on each machine to the appropriate graphics directory,
i.e. "/usr/graphics -> /LocalApps/{8,16,32}bit". This will make
/LocalApps/RasMol.app appear the same on all machines and
still selectively call the appropriate version on each system.

To make RasMol.app, simply rename Makefile.next to Makefile
in the rasmol directory and then open rasmol/rasnext/PB.project.
Building the project will also build and link the RasMol library.
