In general I agree that people should use the current version of OpenRasMol.
However, in my particular case I have two special reasons for running 2.6:
1. My primary motivation for working on Jmol is to build
a Chime replacement. Since 2.6 was the basis for Chime,
I think it makes sense for me to use it.
2. I have recently had the need to look at the source code
in order to understand the rules for hydrogen bonding.
Since the 2.6 source code is in the public domain, I
can read the source code without infringing upon any
licensing issues.
I am not doing any real *work* with RasMol :-)

I agree.

Jan indicated that the labelling was *not* an issue in 2.7.? on Irix.
He indicated that the Y axes labelling was a problem with RasWin. He did
not say which version.
(For my part, I don't understand the RasMol lineage/progeny well enough to
know where RasWin fits in relative to RasMol 2.6 or 2.7 :-)

I will address this in a separate email.
