Given an ordered list of files contanining molecular coordinates
in XYZ format, this simple shell script generates an animated
gif for each of the six possible views down a Cartesian axis.

It uses the free utilities
  - rasmol 
    (http://www.umass.edu/microbio/rasmol) 
    to manipulate the molecule and generate the individual frames
  - convert from ImageMagick 
    (http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/ImageMagick.html)
    to combine the frames into an animated gif

It should be easy to modify the script to other file formats
or animation tools.
