  Axel, 

  Many thanks for making the wonderful webpage available to us.

  > i am pleased to officially announce my tutorial webpages

  > 
  > the tutorial is available at:
  > 
  > http://www.theochem.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/go/cpmd-vmd.html
  > 
  > although the main focus and the initial inspiration 
  > of these pages root in the need to visualize data 
  > from ab initio molecular dynamics simulations with
  > the CPMD program (http://www.cpmd.org/), many examples
  > and scripts should be easily transferable to other 
  > programs or at least be usable as template for your 
  > own scripts or visualization. Most of the examples and
  > many of the required inputs, scripts and data files
  > are available for download.
  > 
  > many of the examples shown in the tutorial have become possible 
  > because the recently released version 1.8.2 VMD incorporates 
  > largely improved support for xyz files with
  > velocities/gradients, xyz movies, native CPMD trajectory 
  > files, gaussian cube files and visualization of 
  > volumetric data. With these additions and the 
  > flexible scriptability, VMD has become a very powerful tool
  > for visualizing (ab initio) molecular dynamics and 
  > electron structure data.

  > many thanks to the VMD people for making 
  > such a nice visualization tool available.

  > a special thanks to john stone, holger langer,

  > i hope be able further improve and expand the tutorial

  > i hope you will have as much fun looking at and
