Aggregate a small set open-source software projects together into a |
| 6 |
< |
maintainable form which can support integration with PyMOL and other |
| 7 |

interactive applications via platform-specific binary distributions. |

"freemol" top-level directory is a prototype framework for holding |

subdirectories: (freemol/bin, freemol/lib, freemol/share, |

freemol/man, and so forth) The FREEMOL environment variable should |
| 19 |

point at this directory. |
