  - comparative models from ModBase
  - protein pocket data from CASTp database
  - small molecule structures from Pub3D
  - small molecule structures built from SMILES strings
 2) surface improvements:
  - increased reliability
  - surface areas automatically calculated
  - Actions menu, other tools work on more types of surfaces
 3) appearance:
  - default lighting changed to improve POV-Ray results
  - larger default scale
  - helix ribbon insides can be colored separately
  - 2D labels can include Greek letters and other symbols
 4) new tools: Axes, EnsembleCluster, Solvate, Structure Diagram
 5) new commands: export, mclip, molmap, perframe, ribinsidecolor,
   shape, solvate, topography, vop
 See the release notes for details.  The production release includes
 versions for Windows, Mac/X11, Linux, SGI IRIX, and HP Tru64.
