Hi John,

No, still no joy:

>Main< (diversity0776) 57 % render snapshot MySnapshot convert %s JPEG:%s.jpg
>Main< (diversity0776) 58 % ls
.:
Ligand.pdb LigandData.txt MySnapshot
Receptor.pdb ReceptorLigand.pdb VMD.vmd
diversity0776-67852.gif

It renders and creates MySnapshot just fine, but the conversion fails (no
existence of the file MySnapshot.jpg), with no complaints.

Thanks,

Arneh
