• RasMol_2_7_3_1_RU_29Dec06.patch     - The changes to Release 2.7.3.1 to incorporate Russian language messages and menus have been combined with several other changes in one large (1MB) patch, RasMol_2.7.3.1_ru_29Dec06.patch. After applying the patch, all symlinks should be manually removed, and the new icons raswin.ico, raswin_doc.ico, raswin_scr.ico should be placed in src/mswin. Finally the new pattern of symlinks should be created from the top level by executing

  ./.symlinks

  A sample script for applying the patches and doing this cleanup is provided.

  The changes are as follows:

  * Russian language messages and were translated by Gregory A. Pozhvanov (pozhvanov at gmail dot com) of Saint-Petersburg State University.

  * An MS windows installer was proposed by G. A. Pozhvanov, and reimplemented on the open source base of NSIS-2.21.

  * A unix installer script, rasmol_install.sh, and a matching script to select an appropropriate binary version to run under unix, rasmol_run.sh have been added by H. J. Bernstein

  * Language selections have been made "sticky".

  * The "About" dialog has been made uniform among platforms and "Register" and "Donate" buttons have been added to the "About" dialog screen and to the menus.

  * In response to a bug report from Steve Shaw (shaws at mail dot nih dot gov) at the NIH, two new options have been added for export of VRML images: "rotate" and "mirror".

  write vrml mirror

  will write a vrml file with all axes mirrored (x -> -x, y -> -y and z -> -z) and

  write vrml rotate

  will write a vrml file rotated 180 degrees around the x-axis (x - > x, y -> -y, z-> -z)

  * Code from 2003 by Vencislav Stanev to export Raster3D scripts from RasMol was integrated with this release, and support for ribbons was added.

  * In order to support builds on newer 64-bit unix systems, Nikolay Darakev added code to the build scripts to check the length of long integers and to adjust the builds.
