Short:    AGA & Picasso compatible molecular renderer

CPK v2.6 is a molecular rendering program capable of rendering space filling,
wireframe and ball and stick molecular models.  This version
provides atomic file conversion programs, an interface to the POV-Ray 
ray tracing program, and some interactive molecular manipulation capabilities.

*** New in version 2.6 ***

- Minor bugfixes, reorganization.  Less restrictive license for distribution
on Aminet and Fred Fish Disks.

 
**************************


General program features include:

	- Ability to read standard Brookhaven data bank files
	- Correct handling of intersecting atomic spheres
	- Ability to save IFF files for a particular rendering
	- Ability to create a series of images which may be combined
	  into animations with normal Amiga paint programs
	- AGA and Picasso II compatibility
	- An ARexx interface with full command set
	- Asynchronous file I/O for quick reads
	- Interface to POV-Ray with a variety of rendering options.
	- AmigaGuide and Texinfo documentation
	- Interactive molecular manipulation in 'vector' mode.
	- Ball and line rendering for very fast image creation.
	- Z axis molecular clipping

To get the best performance from POV-Ray, I recommend getting my
upgrade to this program.  The archive should be on Aminet, and is
named povami_picasso.lha.  This version was created from V2.0 of POV-Ray
and provides direct 24 bit Picasso II support as well as some enhancements
for use with CPK.

CPK requires V3.x of AmigaDOS as well as Nico Francois' reqtools.library.
