This is truly very very sad news. Although I never met Warren
personally, whenever we had any problems with PyMOL, he was always
available virtually immediately at the other end of e-mail and
answered all our questions.
I feel I really got to know Warren. He was just a terrific person and
has left a wonderful legacy in PyMOL.
Sincerely,
Joel
