Dear Netters,

You must have been quite familiar with me and with my mail rubbish since
last Friday. Now I believe the trouble is over. Please accept my deepest
apologies. 

I have found what had happened: I posted my message to three mailing list
at the same time. There is at least one e-mail address does not work in
the drug.dna list. Thus one copy of my mail bounced back. But the
mailserver kept its fail-and-resend procedure until the mail was three or
four days old. Meanwhile, all the other netters received dozens of those
mails. This is really like a careless nurse distributing drugs to her
patients: The dead has been dead while the health have to continue to
"enjoy" the cure. 

In this case, reset the mailserver or quit the mailing list does not work.
Finally I contacted with our mailserver manager and we changed the
settings of the mailer: "Expire time" to a very short time and "Retry
time" to a very long time. It worked. 

It is a good lesson for both the mailserver managers and the users. More
attention should be paid to prevent such things from happening again.
I am very glad to see Simon's apology. It is enclosured at the end of this
mail.

Yours faithfully,

Arthur Wang

Subject: Public Apology For Arthur Wang's Resent Message !

Dear All,

Please stop flaming Arthur for his multiple messages ! The problem 
was due to our mailserver hanging on Friday afternoon, & looping his 
messages infinitely !

May I apologise to you all for this tecnical problem at our end, 
caused mainly by our mailserver running out of system resources.

 ( For the tekkies out there, this list is currently being 
handled on a Netware server using Mercurys' Maiser function. It seems 
that once the mailing list starts getting excessive, Maiser starts 
having problems dealing with sending mail out. Time to move the list 
over to a Unix+MajorDomo solution, methinks !).

Sorry !

Simon Stevens.

To all:
        I have received a number of useful responses to my query about
"morphing" one structure to another.  I am gathering them together and will
post a summary shortly, as well as let you know how my computation worked
out.  To all that helped -- thanks!  To all curious as to the results,
they're coming!

Hi!

I have progessed things on COSMO quite a bit - thanks to your help.

I would recommend

EF PREC SCFCRT=1.0e-8 DDMIN=0.0 DMAX=0.001 HESS=0 XYZ +
T=100000 EF LET GNORM=0.0001

and I have had acse where this did not get the gradient right down so 
I added

RECALC=1

Now that took a seroiusly long time - but it did it for all but one of 
my structures.  This is a ring cation and nothing I hit it with has any 
chance of getting the gradient down.  I was wondering if anyone had 
experiance with - or could explain the scient behind

RSOLV=
DELSC=
DISEX=
NSPA=

Which I gleened from reading the source code.  My guess is that the cosm 
is putting some form of discontinuity in the energy function that leaves 
the gradients high when the system is at a minimum W.R.T energy.  This 
might be due to a change in the number a triangles etc.

Well any help will be appreciated - and I will put any god methods back 
on the list.

Once again cheers

Alex

PS - I also tried nllsq - but it got stuck as well.

My apologies for the possibly stupid question but...

How do you translate images in Kinemage?  I can rotate and zoom but I want to
slide the image to the center of the screen.  The method does not seem to be in
the on-line help or anywhere else I have looked.

Thanks in advance...
