Please read the file NOTICE for important notices which apply to this package. If you are not going to make changes to RasMol, you are not only permitted to freely make copies and distribute them, you are encouraged to do so, provided you do the following:

If you would like to use major pieces of RasMol in some other program, make modifications to RasMol, or in some other way make what a lawyer would call a "derived work", you are not only permitted to do so, you are encouraged to do so. In addition to the things we discussed above, please do the following:

This version of RasMol is not in the public domain, but it is given freely to the community in the hopes of advancing science. If you make changes, please make them in a responsible manner, and please offer us the opportunity to include those changes in future versions of RasMol.

Changes adopted from RasTop 1.3 in creating RasMol 2.7.2.1:

Note: These mods do not reflect the complete source of RasTop 1.3.

[31/01/00]	PV	command.c
		Added code for selecting atom areas with mouse:  changed

Added command "select view" and corresponding code, which allows to select a part of a molecule based on screen display. [16/01/00] PV cmndline.c In PerformMouseFunc() corrected MM_CLIP to access clipping with the mouse, added MM_DEPT to access backclipping (depth) with the mouse. [16/01/00] PV transfor.h, transfor.c, token.h, token.c, script.c Added ShadePower in DefineColourMap(), which brings some interesting shade variations. Added ShadePowerTok and command "set shade x" with x between -20 to 20. [03/01/00] PV transfor.c Fixed bug (and modified) function Power() to handle Specpower [12/14/99] PV Added variables ShiftS and UseAutoDepthCue that adjust DepthCue with slabbing. [14/12/99] PV transform.c Added function CentreTransform() to either move the origin in the molecule or move the molecule to the origin (origin = True ). Added variables Cenx,y,z, which mesure distance centre-origin. [29/09/99] PV molecule.c Fixed bug in FindCisBonds() (no zeroing of last group cisbondflag); Added ability to convert triple bond to single (CreateBondOrder()) [24/09/99] PV cmndline.c Correlated mouse binding to global variable MouseMode. Removed EnableMenus(state==1) in ResetCommandLine(). Fixed mouse binding with INVERT on y values. Fixed bug on capture status on mouse-up. Added MM_PREV to mouse binding for deselection. Fixed INVERT on y value for mouseup. [21/09/99] PV command.c, render.h, render.c, transfor.h, transfor.c Added four new picking modes: select an atom: PickAtom; select a group: PickGroup; select a chain: PickChain; modify bonding/add multiple bonds: PickBond. Allowed picking parameter shift = -1 when Ctrl key is down to deselect an atom (a group, a chain) from the current selection. [Note by HJB 02/04/01 -- The UCB and 2.7.2 bond picking was used in 2.7.2.1 instead of the RasTop version] [22/09/99] PV abstree.h, abstree.c First step for saving atomsets & identifiers in RasMol scripts (SetSize to 100 and SymEntry and SymbolTable in header).

Current implementation gives a maximum of 75 RU at maximum zooming. Mac implementation should be verified. [14/07/99] PV abstree.c transfor.c (Adapted from RasTop 1.3) Added shortcuts for direct evaluations of atomsets (BuildAtomSet(), SelectZoneExpr()). [14/07/99] PV abstree.c, transfor.c Added shortcuts for direct evaluations of atomsets (BuildAtomSet(), SelectZoneExpr()); gain up to 15 seconds of computer time on very large molecules. [10/07/99] PV cif.c Fixed memory allocation bug in cif_make_handle

Changes adapted from UCB rasmol in creating RasMol 2.7.2:

Note: These mods do not reflect the complete source of UCB RasMol. In particular toolbar.h and toolbar.c have not been used in this pass, and the full source of UCB RasMol has not yet been recovered.

		Hide command window.  Add help screen menu logic.  Add hooks to
		load multiple molecules.  Add toolbar menu to Windows menu.  Make

Changes from RasMol 2.7.1 to create RasMol 2.7.1.1:

[21/01/01]	FGR, HJB	langsel.c, langsel_mac.c, mswin.c,  applemac.c
		Installed translations for Edit menu on mac and PC 
		provided by Fernando Gabriel Ranea. 

[17/01/01]	FGR, HJB	langsel.c, langsel_mac.c
		Corrections to translations by Fernando Gabriel Ranea, installed
		by HJB with revisions to menu bar accelerators.

[12/01/01]	HJB	applemac.c
		Added include of langsel.h.  Added routine ReWriteStr255 to rewrite
		menu bar items in place and tostr255 to convert other menu items
		strings to Pascal form for use in SetmenuItemText.  Set up
		ReDrawWindow to refresh all menu strings and then redraw the menu
		bar.  Note that the rewrite of the main menu bar is _very_ risky
		and may not survive system changes.

[12/01/01]	HJB	command.c
		Added include of langsel.h.  Remove redundant ErrorMsg array and Err...
		definitions.  Change messages to reference MsgStrs.  Add English and
		Spanish as commands calling SwitchLang.

[12/01/01]	HJB	infile.c
		Fix coordinate typo in load of XYZ and Mol2 molecules.

[12/01/01]	HJB	langsel.c, langsel_mac.c, langsel.h
		New routines to carry multi-lingual translations.  Many thanks to
		Fernando Gabriel Ranea for the bulk of the Spanish translations,
		and for creating the initial Spanish version of RasMol 2.7.1.  Note
		that langsel.c uses the ANSI character set, while lansel_mac.c uses the
		Macintosh character set.

[12/01/01]	HJB	molecule.c
		Added include of langsel.h.  Changed messages to reference MsgStrs.
		Refixed D2O misparse, which had been previously fixed.  Mod had been
		lost.

[12/01/01]	HJB	mswin31.c
		Added include of raswin.idm and langsel.h.  Included partial update
		to printer logic.  Added ReDrawWindow as rewrite of menus with
		ModifyMenu and RemoveMenu/AppendMenu calls.

[12/01/01]	HJB	rasmac.c
		Added include of langsel.h.  Added SwitchLang(English) calls
		for initialization to main routine.

[12/01/01]	HJB	rasmol.c
		Add fix for broken math routines by referencing atan2.

[12/01/01]	HJB	rasmol.h
		Added include of langsel.h.  Added SwitchLang(English) calls
		for initialization to main routine.

[12/01/01]	HJB	raswin.c
		Added include of langsel.h.  Changed font of command window to ANSI
		character set.  Changed most messages to reference MsgStrs.  Add
		SwitchLang(English) calls for initialization to WinMain.

[12/01/01]	HJB	x11win.c
		Restructured MenuItem and BarItem to make .text, .pos and .len
		indirect, so that they can be fetched from MsgStrs, MsgAuxl and
		MsgLens.  The .pos field is used to specify the character offset
		of the acceleration key.  The main menu bar may now have non-zero
		offsets.  All the menu items have been changed to MsgStrs[StrM...]
		referecences, and added include of langsel.h.  Added ReDrawWindow
		simply as a call to ReSizeWindow.  This is overkill, but appropriate
		for these infrequent calls.

[12/01/01]	HJB	tokens.h
		Added tokens EnglishTok and SpanishTok.

[12/01/01]	HJB	graphics.h
		Added prototype of ReDrawWindow, a system-dependent call to be used
		after updating menus on language changes.

[12/01/01]	HJB	cmndline.c
		Added include of langsel.h, changed prompts as follows:
		
		"PDB file name:"		MsgStrs[StrPrmtPDB]
		"Image file name:"		MsgStrs[StrPrmtImg]
		"Molecule file name:"	MsgStrs[StrPrmtMol]
		
		

[12/01/01]	HJB	tokens.c
