 Hi,
    I want to VMD to read a new file type(*.vmf).
  My steps are as follows:
  (1)I downloaded Linux opengl,source code from the
       
  website.
  (2)I wrote a plugin(vmfplugin.c) according to
  mol2plugin.c. There are two directories in source
  code. One is plugins,the other is vmd-1.8.3.
  I copied vmfplugin.c to
./../plugins/molfile_plugin/src
  then cd to ../../plugins,typed 'make';'make LINUX'.
  vmfplugin.so was created in ../../plugins/compile/
  Lib_Linux/molfile.
  (3)I copied vmfplugin.so to
./../vmd-1.8.3.bin.Linux.opengl.tar.gz_FILES/vmd-1.8.3
/plugins/Linux/molfile.
  (4)cd
to../../vmd-1.8.3.bin.Linux.opengl.tar.gz_FILES
/vmd-1.8.3,then'./configure',cd src 'make install'.
  (5)When I operated File->New Molecule->determine
file
type->vmf->filename(*.vmf)->load.The interfaces of VMD
disapear at once.
  My questions are as follows:
  (1)Is this method feasible to embed a new file type
to
 VMD?
  (2)How does VMD recognize an atom's type(C_3,H_
etc.in
  *.vmf) and a bond's type(S,D in *.vmf)?
  (3)How is every atom linked?
  (4)would you like to give me some advives about my
  program(vmfplugin.c).
  (5)What shall I do in order to embed a new file type
to
  VMD except writing a plugin(vmfplugin.c)?
  Attachments are vmfplugin.c and ch3oh.vmf.
 Thanh you very much!
