RELEASE OF THE R.E.D. III.1 TOOLS

January 12th, 2009.

I am pleased to announce the release of the program RESP ESP charge Derive version III.1 (or R.E.D. III.1) and its related tools (Ante_R.E.D.-1.1 and X R.E.D. III.1) available @ http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/RED/.

New features available:
- Bug corrections in Ante_R.E.D. & R.E.D.-III,
- Better handling/display of system variables,
- Better interface for PC-GAMESS/Firefly & GAMESS-US (Ante_R.E.D., R.E.D. & X_R.E.D.),
- Portability on Mac OS X platforms (Thanks to T. Patko's work - California State University, Long Beach, CA, USA),
- Better compatibility with R.E.D. Server.

This new distribution contains a mini-HowTo and a tutorial about charge derivation and force field library building for whole molecules and molecule fragments using the R.E.D.-III.1 tools.

A person who is already registered as a R.E.D.-III tools user does not need to register again:
She/he can use her/his R.E.D.-III tools login/passwd obtained previously to download the R.E.D.-III.1 tools.

Best regards,
