SCARECROW Computing Presents

 SCARECROW is a program for the analysis of MD trajectories. It has been
 published in the J. Mol. Graph. 10 (1992) 33. In fact the program is much
 more than just a MD analysis package. The package also contains:
 (1) The ICON8 extended Huckel program modified to eat 1000 atoms. There
     is an interface from SCARECROW to ICON8. The ICON8 program can
     generate the input to an electrostatic potential program (VSS).
 (2) The electrostatic potentiall program VSS. This is a c-code version
     of the old VSS program. The out put from VSS can be displayed with
     SCARECROW
 (3) A probe surface program to generate Connolly type of surfaces.
 (4) A program to generate orbitals or electron density data from orbitals
     generated with ICON8.
 SCARECROW is now able to read several different types of coordinate
 files like the CHARMM, INSIGHT, PDB and several other types of files.
 Trajectory analysis can be done for CHARMM, DISCOVER, YASP, MUMOD,
 GROMOS, and AMBER binary trajectories, and very soon also for
 HyperChem. Some of the goodies are only available for CHARMM users.
 New features in SCARECROW are the possibility to calculate radial
 distribution functions, power spectrum for main component analysis
 of time series and a possibility to calculate diffusion coefficients
 and much more. There is a very crude 2D display facility but the
 data can always be exported to your favourite plotting package.
 SCARECROW has a graphics interface and runs now only on Silicon
 Graphics Machines. On SGI machines it's also possible to run
 SCARECROW without graphics. I don't have any plans to port
 the stuff to other platforms, sorry.
 If you are interested to get more information about SCARECROW
 please feel free to get in touch. I have so far been distributing
 the program for free, if somebody makes money out of it I want
 to get my share.
 Cheers,
