There is an updated release of a CIF version of RasMol, version 2.6_CIF(Rev

  http://www.bernstein-plus-sons.com/software/rasmol/

This is a minor update to version 2.6_CIF which adds allows coloring of
small molecule alternate conformers, corrects the handling of nucleic acid
residue names, and fixes some problems with bonding.

Precompiled versions for SGI (IRIX 5.3 and IRIX 6.4), Windows and Macintosh
are available via links on

  http://www.bernstein-plus-sons.com/software/rasmol/INSTALL.html

Complete source and documentation with an updated manual and reference card
are available via these web pages.   Distribution of additional precompiled
binaries would depend on arrangements for access to appropriate systems.

If you use the switch "-cif", this version will read a core CIF or mmCIF
dataset.   Coloring of alternate conformers and multiple NMR models is
supported.  Fractional coordinates are supported.

  THIS IS A PRELIMINARY RELEASE INVOLVING EXTENSIVE MODIFICATIONS
                  ***** USE WITH CAUTION ******
