Hi Ivor,

Thanx I'll look it up. I wonder if the library, which has quite frankly
surprised me considerably with its stock of ceramics texts, will ever want
all this stuff back :)

My only reluctance with respect to this was trying to avoid leading myself
astray by creating incorrect models - I am interested in getting the side
length proportions and bond angles correct. That said, its probably worth a
shot. At least I'll learn a lot about it. I even thought of trying to write
my own in Java. I think I got too much sun the other day. What graphics
package do you use ? Anything special ? Can it rotate the models realtime,
something that Ron Roy mentioned which I too am interested in ?
Thanx for the help
