Dear netters;

I hope this doesnot increase the noise to unbearable level.

I would like to submit an application for a research grant, and as 
usual funds are hard to come by. I wish to have a pc which can carry 
out ab initio calculations something in the range of pentium etc, if 
the money comes through I will by G94.

Now the question:

Which PC would you recommend for this sort of project and what range 
of prices are we talking about here? 

Thanks in advance.
T Tshehla

Dear colleague,

I would like to measure an angle between two planar molecules 
containing 20 atoms per each (however, at least three atoms which
could be enough to calculate one plane). All atoms are in cartesian
coordinates (pdb format). It is not convenient to calculate manually
since I will have to repeat the measurement several times.

I will appreciate if anyone know of any programs that can measure the angle
between the planes? 

Thank in advance

Thep
