Program Description: 
The Molecular Surface Package performs computations and
visualizations of molecular surfaces. It consists of three programs:

MSRoll
    reads protein data bank format atomic coordinate file 
    computes a dot surface (similar to that produced by MS) 
    computes piecewise quartic molecular surface 
    identifies and characterizes interior cavities 
    computes molecular areas and volumes 
    computes a polyhedral surface 


MSDraw
    renders molecular surface and chemical model 
    generates polyhedral surface plots with hidden-line elimination 
    generates contours on a polyhedral molecular surface 

MSForm
    measures the curvature of a polyhedral molecular surface 
    computes a solvent-excluded density 
    computes an interfacial surface between two densities
Computer platform(s): 
SGI
Location: 
/usr/local/fbscapp/msp/
Access: 
Account at ABCC's SGI systems is required to use MSP.

To use it:
  set path=(/usr/local/fbscapp/msp/bin $path) 
followed by one of MSP's commands: msdraw, msform,
msroll.
