tom,
most of the issues have been resolved.
a) there is now the topotools plugin that acts as a frontend
to all kinds of bond manipulation and transfer between selections.
b) the improved bigdcd that i wrote, should take care most of where
you were getting deadlocks. this will become entirely obsolete
as soon as john finds the time to implement out-of-core processing
of data.
cheers,
axel.
