Dear collegues,

we are glad to announce the new release of VEGA1.4.2
( http://users.unimi.it/ddl ) our well known program to convert, manage and
visualize of 3D structures for several platforms (Win32, Linux, Irix,
AmigaOs).

New features of VEGA1.4.2:
- PowerNet plugin: TCP/IP protocol, PDB direct connection, script managment
interface.
- REBOL scripting language. Some scripts are included in the package.
- AMD Athlon/Duron and Pentium 4 optimizations.
- Edit atom dialog box.
- GAMESS output loader.
- Updated Gasteiger-Marsili charge attribution.
- Bug fixes and new extended commands.

REBOL is a messaging language that provides a broad range of practical
solutions to the daily challenges of Internet computing. REBOL offers a new
approach to the exchange and interpretation of network-based information
over a wide variety of computing platforms.
REBOL scripts are as easy to write as HTML or shell scripts: a script can be
a single line or an entire application.
The PowerNet plugin includes a useful interface to manage the REBOL scripts.
Trough these scripts it's possible to control the VEGA function in order to
automate the most common and repetitive operations.
