i've been teaching. this time last year i was doing the same course  
but suddenly had to leave (to go to paris, which was nice). my map  
interpretation practical had a new part on decorating a trace. it was  
a disaster. this year, i didn't go to paris, but i showed the  
students how to use decor_easy. one actually said 'this is fun'. honest.
there was a colour blind young man in the group. i had never sat  
through a graphics session with a colour blind person before, it was  
very enlightening. my standard YASSPA colour scheme in decor_easy was  
a disaster for him (red, green, yellow), as was the decor_fix text  
colour (green and white). there will be changes in 11.0.1
i've put new tar'ed directories on the ftp server for p2map and p2av  
(the latter hasn't been done this year yet but there aren't many  
changes so it should be OK).

 >pdb_read
i picked up a PDB contents guide from rsc this summer. this was  
probably not a good thing to do since it was clearly labeled 'draft'  
but i wanted to be able to get many chains into O and i thought i  
should follow their nomenclature. gerard has been teasing me since  
then, happy to tell me that the segID has been dropped for years.  
that's OK since i broke some of his EDS scripts by asking if you wish  
to concatenate the segID and residue name if you elected to save  
segIDs. while reading the contents guide, i saw that the element name  
was out there at the end of the card so i thought i'd use it if it's  
non-blank. woe is me. i have no idea how many PDB files have an  
element in columns 77-78 but some/many/most/all do not. i will fix  
this in the 11.0.1 release but until then if you see all atoms as  
carbons, please do this to the PDB file before reading it into O:

cat 1pmp.pdb | cut -c1-76 > q.pdb

still not documented auto_build and christmas is coming
