MolView
Version 1.0
By Edward Sanville

Instructions
============

To view a molecule file, simply type:

molview file

at the command prompt, or associate the file with MolView using the Windows View/Options/File Types dialog box.


File Types Supported
====================

	*PDB Protein Database 

		It works for most of them anyways

	*CC1 cartesian coordinates

		First line of file is number of atoms.  Each subsequent
		line is the element symbol, followed by X, Y, and Z
		cartesian coordinates.

	*IN Gaussian input file

		A simple implementation to view a Gaussian input file. 
		File MUST have the following structure:
			Five lines of junk at the beginning (job
			card/basis set, etc.)
		Element symbol, followed by X, Y, and Z cartesian 
		coordinates

	*STD Gaussian standard orientation output

		Same format used in Gaussian 98's output files, when it
		lists the coordinates of the molecule in "Standard
		Orientation."

Viewing the Molecule
====================

	Sorry about the crappy, inadequate user interface.  Here are the keys used:

Left/Right/Up/Down Arrows - Rotate the molecule

Space - Zoom In

B - Zoom Out (Back Up)

S - Save File as "output.cc1"


Elements supported
==================

	The program will use the configuration file atoms.txt.  Inside this file, you can see that it has the following structure:

Atomic_Number	Atomic_Symbol	Atomic_Radius	Red	Green	Blue

	The red, green, and blue values are color components for that element, on a 0-255 scale.

Watch Out For
=============

	I put this program together basically on a whim, because I needed a program to open and view these four strange 3D molecule filetypes.  In the future, I hope to add the following features:

	*The ability to open ZMatrix internal coordinate files
	*The ability to measure bond lengths/angles/dihedral angles
	*The ability to change lengths/angles, etc.
