of course. sorry about that.

that brings me to a short question for everybody:
do you think this script is important enough to put
into the VMD script library?

alternatively, we can have an 'unsorted bits and pieces'
folder in the VMD biocore where people can upload scripts,
that are not as generic or need to be significantly adapted,
or need some cleaning up etc.

this way, people still have a chance of getting inspiration
from existing solutions to problems, but at the same time,
there is not so much of a pressure to debug and support
the resulting script. with a bit of luck, then later somebody
and come and perhaps extend some of those and put them
into a full package and so on.

what do you think?
