Thanks Esben for the synopsis. It's encouraging to know someone has this working with PyMOL. I saw a presentation earlier this fall from someone involved in the GeoWall project (http://www.geowall.org) and ever since then have been thinking over ways to approach putting a system like this together (both technical as well as what kind of funding to try to use). What kind of uses does your system see? Is it predominately used by researchers, or by classes, or a good mix between the two? -- D. Joe Anderson, Asst. Sci. 2252 Molecular Biology Bldg.
