  I'm aware of that. Unfortunately, being a researcher myself and not
yet having a stable position, time has grown short ;-)...

  One of the problems is that jalview embeds jmol, and there is still a
lot of work to be done on jmol before it can be uploaded to debian. I
still have few other things to package for jalview. Would it be
acceptable to strip jmol from jalview as a first step ? (doesn't sound
good, actually...).

  I'll get back to that work as soon as I can, but I don't promise
anything for now.

  Meanwhile, would you be interested to contribute ? I could coach you
;-)...

  Cheers,

	Vincent

wealth. But the captain had long ago decided that he would,
on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.
