Subj:	wanted: Alpha testers for MAGIC

We are looking for people interested in alpha testing a system for
communication and viewing of molecular dynamics trajectories.  To qualify
you should have dynamics trajectories that you have generated, and have
available a PC, Mac, Sun, or Vaxstation, or Amiga.  If you are interested
in providing feedback on the MAGIC system, send e-mail to
wipke #at# secs.ucsc.edu including what computer equipment you would use for
viewing and what the name of the dynamics program you use is.  If you
have any famous trajectories that have been the subject of a publication,
we would be interested in obtaining them as demonstration trajectories.
The source of the trajectories will be displayed as credit for the
contribution.

Part of MAGIC is HOCUS, which converts the dynamics history file into
a machine-independent format.  We have a HOCUS for DISCOVER/INSIGHT,
but need volunteers to do the HOCUS for the major dynamics programs
that are available.  If you have your own home-grown dynamics program,
you will be interested in developing a HOCUS for it for your own use
and we will be interested to know if our format instructions are clear
and adequate for you to accomplish that.

A description of other parts of the system, POCUS, SMOKE, and MIRRORS
will be available to those alpha testers selected.  Anyone who has
an IBM 6000 or HP workstation that would like to be involved in a port
to that box is welcome to apply.  Our goal is to have ports for every
major platform and every major dynamics program.  Language=C
