   The original RasMol manual was created by Roger Sayle.  In July 1996,
   Dr. Margaret Wong of the Chemistry Department, Swinburne University
   of Technology, Australia, made extensive revisions to the RasMol 2.5
   manual to accurately reflect the operation of RasMol 2.6.  Eric Martz
   of the University of Massachusetts made further revisions.  In May
   1997, William McClure of Carnegie Mellon University reorganized the
   HTML version of the manual into multiple sections which could be
   downloaded quickly and added use of frames.   Portions of the 2.7.1
   version of the RasMol manual were derived with permission from
   William McClure's version using Roger Sayle's rasmol.doc for
   version 2.6.4 as the primary source. Changes were made in August 2000 for
   RasMol version 2.7.2, January 2001 for RasMol version 2.7.1.1, April 2001
   for RasMol version 2.7.2.1 and February 2005 for RasMol version 2.7.3.

                                Translations

   Thanks to the efforts of Jose Miguel Fernandez Fernandez (Departamento
   de Bioquimica y Biologia Molecular. Universidad de Granada. Espana
   (jmfernan@ugr.es)) a translation of the Manual for Rasmol version
   2.7.1 into Spanish is now available. La traduccion espanola del manual
   de la version de la Dra. Wong revisada por Eric Martz fue realizada
   por Isabel Servan Martinez y Jose Miguel Fernandez Fernandez. La
   actual traduccion del Manual de RasMol 2.7.1 ha sido realizada usando
   como base la anterior de RasMol 2.6 por  Jose Miguel Fernandez
   Fernandez.

   Thanks to translations by Fernando Gabriel Ranea in late 2000 and
   early 2001, RasMol is now capable of rendering most menu items and
   messages in Spanish. Jean-Pierre Demailly provided French translations
   of menus and messages in January 2001. Giuseppe Martini and Giovanni
   Paolella with contributions by A. Davassi, M. Masullo and C. Liotto
   provided Italian translation of menus and messages in March 2001.
