it is the latter- a different (and much more powerful) scripting
interface.

when using a pure python script it is invoked using

  xplor -py SCRIPT.py >SCRIPT.out

  xplor -help 

will give a little info on what else is possible.

correct. It is more recent. A simple example may be found in
eginput/protG/anneal.py together with an XPLOR script which does about
the same thing.

We're working on documentation. A description of the design can be found in
J. Magn. Reson. 160, 66-74 (2003). The IVM is described in
J. Magn. Reson. 152, 288-302 (2001). Online help is available via the
python help() command [ try help(xplor) ].

hope this helps--
Charles
