Sounds interesting.
Egon said also that we can/should establish an interface between JOELib 
and JMol. Unfortunately i've less time for such things although i would 
be REALLY interested.

Nonetheless i would be really interested in such a service, too. And i 
surely know some people which would be interested, too !
Furhtermore there exists already some services:

1. JOELib has no structure editor functionality, so it is not possible 
to use it directly for such tasks.
BUT if you will publish the HTTP adress with command line for the CGI 
script i would be really interested. I hope it will be possible to 
install such a service also for other servers (e.g. our APACHE server).

2. Technical comment: What's about JSP instead of CGI (i'm not familiar 
with, but seems to be state-of-the-art) ?
Egon: Are you familiar with JSP ?

Regards, Joerg
