Subject: Re: Is there any chemistry-related ruby application?

Dear all,

As promised earlier, we have made the first release on
rubyforge.org. Please take a look at project 'molruby'
at http://rubyforge.org/projects/molruby.

Please read the README file and the release notes.

Please help the project by active participation and
testing.

Thanks and best regards,

JS
