A few weeks ago, I posted to this group to see if anyone had written
any C++ classes to manage data of biological interest, and
PDB/structure data in particular.

Unfortunately, nobody seems to have made a class for dealing with
protein structure data.  Therefore, I'm going to set about it myself.

While I don't guarantee that I'm going to build anything
re-distributable, I hope to make a good-quality reusable class library
for this use.  What I would like are comments on what people would
like to see such a class be able to do.

I would also like pointers to routines to put into the class, such as
the phi/psi program just recently posted.

Thanks in advance!

-Steve
