Dear Colleague,

FlexX is a fully automated receptor-ligand docking program, whose
development started approximately five years ago in a cooperation
between pharmaceutical industry in Germany and GMD.

The FlexX method and some results obtained with the software have been
published in a series of four papers:

Rarey, Wefing, Lengauer; J.Comput.-Aided Mol.Design 10 pages 41--54, 1996
Rarey, Kramer, Lengauer, and Klebe; J.Mol.Biol. 261 pages 470--489, 1996
Rarey, Kramer, Lengauer; J.Comput.-Aided Mol.Design 11 pages 369--384, 1997
Kramer, Rarey, Lengauer; PROTEINS: Struct., Funct., and Genet., in press
  (CASP-2 issue)

Currently and for a limited time period, GMD-SCAI offers a demo 
license for evaluating FlexX free-of-charge. The license covers the 
full functionality of FlexX and will be valid until 1st February 1998. 
More information can be found on:

Dear CCL members,

The version 1.0 of the molecular display and analysis program gOpenMol
is now available at:

http://laaksonen.csc.fi/gopenmol/

gOpenMol is now available for:

  * Windows 95/NT
  * SGI IRIX 6.x with MESA
  * IBM AIX 4.x with MESA

and (hopefully next week) for
  * LINUX with MESA
  * DEC/OSF with MESA

This release has added input coordinate filters for Gromos96, Tinker and
UHBD qcd input coordinate files.

gOpenMol can also now read and analyse the Gromos96 and Tinker formatted
coordinate trajectories.

Several help programs are also available in the utility/ directory.
There are programs for:

   * formatting and unformatting of CHARMM trajectories
   * formatting and unformatting of plt files (gOpenMol plot files)
   * conversion of UHBD formatted and unformatted .psi
     files to plt files to be displayed by gOpenMol
   * unformatting of formatted AMBER trajectories
   * and many more

Please report all bugs and comments directly to me.

Have fun!

Regards,

-leif laaksonen

Not!  

Many of the modules, routines and packages contain re-use limitations.
Here's an example from random.c/README.  Though in this case
the contributors place their own code in the public domain, the
package is not usable without the ACM code that they also incorporate.

random.c is far from the only package with such reuse restrictions.
Of the approximately 10 netlib packages I've looked at seriously,
nearly all contains such provisions.  Some indeed do not, but if
this kind of thing is an issue for you, you had better look carefully.

By the way, it's not clear to me whether the re-use restriction
quoted below pertains to selling the source code, selling a product
that incorporates the restricted routines, or both.

--------------------- from random.c/README --------------------------
                              LEGALITIES

Code that appeared  in an    ACM  publication  is subject  to    their
algorithms policy:

     Submittal of  an  algorithm    for publication  in   one of   the  ACM
     Transactions implies that unrestricted use  of the algorithm within  a
     computer is permissible.   General permission  to copy and  distribute
     the algorithm without fee is granted provided that the copies  are not
     made  or   distributed for  direct   commercial  advantage.    The ACM
     copyright notice and the title of the publication and its date appear,
     and  notice is given that copying  is by permission of the Association
     for Computing Machinery.  To copy otherwise, or to republish, requires
     a fee and/or specific permission.

     Krogh, F.  Algorithms  Policy.  ACM  Tran.   Math.  Softw.   13(1987),
     183-186.

We place the Ranlib code that we have written in the public domain.

Dear Colleagues:

I am going to work on De Novo design. Could you tell me are there this
kind of software somewhere (demo or commercial) and references on this
topic. I very appreciate and will summary all answers.

Another good place to look is
NIST Guide to Available Mathematical Software
http://gams.nist.gov/
It has software organized by both problem type and package name.
