VIEWMOL can be easily adapted to write files in any format. All you have to do is to write a new output filter which formats the data provided by VIEWMOL. These output filters are stand-alone programs and can be written in every programming language you want. Examples in awk are included.

$end is passed to the output filter as last line.
