V<SMALL>IEWMOL</SMALL> started its life somewhere in 1991 as a tool to draw IR and
Raman spectra from Turbomole outputs. Since drawing only spectra soon
turned out to be insufficient for writing a PhD thesis, capabilities were
added to draw the molecule and animate normal modes. Since other people in the
Arbeitsgruppe Quantenchemie an der Humboldt-Universitt zu Berlin,
Max-Planck-Gesellschaft got interested in the program and wanted
extensions for other program's output Andreas Bnger (a then 16 year old
high school student on a practical course in the group) and Andreas Bleiber started
to write an input filter for G<SMALL>AUSSIAN 9X</SMALL>. Arne Dummer wrote a filter for
DM<SMALL>OL</SMALL>. In the course of the research performed in the group other
capabilities were asked for and added by the original authors and by
Mariann Krossner (calculation of inelastic neutron scattering intensities)
and Andries de Man (extension of G<SMALL>AUSSIAN 9X</SMALL> input filter to read
density functional outputs). Version 1.2 was presented at the German/Austrian
Academic Software Award competition in 1993 and honored as outstanding
achievement (cf.
<A NAME="tex2html36"
HREF="http://www.ask.uni-karlsruhe.de/asksam/sampages/htmltxt/viewmol.html">http://www.ask.uni-karlsruhe.de/asksam/sampages/htmltxt/viewmol.html</A>).
With the advent of Linux it was recognized that the original
Fortran/IrisGL version would be difficult to port to more affordable hardware.
Version 2.0 of the program was a complete rewrite in C/OpenGL by Jrg-Rdiger Hill
now mainly done on a Linux system. Development of the program continues
on Linux using Brian Paul's terrific implementation of OpenGL, Mesa.
