Dear Jacky:

Just noted your other announcement about Term2 BIOMOOS;

initially I thought that I can only help with the advanced topics
in PPS96. I notice from your list that I could also help with
some of the other topics, like Web authoring (HTML), and VRML,
from your list, as well as molecular dynamics aspects and
_MODELING PROTEIN INTERACTIONS_. The latter is our group's
specialty!
Look forward to hearing again from you.
Regards,

Ion C. Baianu
