hi,

you cannot find it, because intersurf requires binary only
plugins that are only provided for 32-bit linux and windows.

you have to contact the intersurf developers to get an updated
version.

the binaries bundles with VMD have not been updated for almost
3 years, so it is highly likely they won't work for any future
releases and it might be a good idea to remove them from the
distribution/cvs altogether (unless the developers either provide
updates or release the source code).

cheers,
   axel.
