VMD "Visual Molecular Dynamics" 1.3 Announcement
        ------------------------------------------------
The Theoretical Biophysics group at the Beckman Institute For Advanced  
Science and Technology, the University of Illinois (U-C), is proud to
announce the public release of VMD 1.3.  VMD is a package for the 
visualization and analysis of biomolecular systems.  This software is
distributed free of charge and includes source code, documentation,
and precompiled binaries for HP, Linux, Sun, and SGI Unix systems.
The documentation includes an installation guide, a users guide, and a 
programmers guide for interested researchers.  VMD also provides on-line 
help through the use of an external HTML viewer.  VMD development is 
supported by the NIH National Center for Research Resources.

A full description of VMD is available via the VMD WWW home page:
        http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/

The authors request that any published work which utilizes VMD includes 
a reference to the VMD web page and/or the following reference:

  Humphrey, W., Dalke, A. and Schulten, K., "VMD - Visual Molecular
  Dynamics", J. Molec. Graphics, 1996, vol. 14, pp. 33-38.

The Theoretical Biophysics group encourages VMD users to be closely  
involved in the development process through reporting bugs, contributing  
fixes, periodical surveys and via other means.

We are eager to hear from you, and thank you for using our software!
