The following instructions were originally written to configure RasMol as a helper application with older versions of Netscape Navigator, but should provide sufficient information to easily adapt its use to other browsers.
RasMol is a free program which will allow you to manipulate molecules hyperactively.
Several versions of the Rasmol 2.6 beta are available for downloading from the Chemistry Gopher. Although still in beta, this update has added many features and improvements, and is currently the recommended version. Rasmol is available in self-extracting archives for Windows as both the 16-bit RasWin, designed for Windows 3.1 or greater, and the 32-bit RasWin which requires Windows 95 or Win32s with OLE for Windows 3.1. A Macintosh version, RasMac, is also available. You can also download RasMol from the RasMol Home Page at UMass / Amherst, where you will find additional information and instructions.
Follow these instructions to set up RasMol to work correctly with Netscape.
RasMol should now work with your copy of Netscape.
