[PyMOL] Informal Email Survey RE: Molecular Modeling Suites

[DeLano S. <de...@de...>]

This email is directed towards users of Chemical Computing Group's
"Molecular Operating Environment" (MOE) as well as other molecular modeling
suites (e.g. Maestro, Sybyl, Discovery Studio, GROMACS, etc.).
 
As announced previously, our precompiled beta builds of PyMOL 1.0 (now beta
25 http://delsci.com/ip/beta ) have native support for reading ".MOE"
(dot-MOE) files, making it much easier for you to share MOE molecular
modeling results using PyMOL. 
 
Together with CCG, we would like as much feedback as possible on this new
feature.  Also, we would also like to know where it is being tested and/or
used, so that we can appropriately prioritize joint effort supporting this
capability in the future.
 
Thus, if you are currently making use of the PyMOL ".MOE" reader, or if you
think someone in your company or lab will likely make use of it, please drop
us an email (assuming you haven't done so already).  To the extent that this
feature matters to you, we need to know it.
 
On the other hard, if you mainly use another another molecular modeling
suite and would like to see PyMOL support its file format natively as well,
please drop us an email to that effect.  
 
Thank you for your feedback! 
 
Cheers,
Warren
