Hi Bob,

the perpendicular plane works perfectly and is exactly what we will need
for the Jmol viewer at our site!
(Maybe you remember from the discussion last year on this list that we
want to map exon boundaries onto PDB structures.)

Now there is only one wish left that you didn't fulfill yet:
  the possibility to label the draw objects like planes and lines (or at
least place a label independent of a specific atom).

It looks like you have solved the problem with Firefox 1.0.7 / Java
1.4.2 on Linux and your prototype pages. With your latest 'spin.htm'
page there are no longer any Javascript console error messages and the
'msg' lines appear now in the log textarea.

Rolf
