Hi there,

The Swiss PDB Viewer "Deep View" has similar display capabilities as 
RasMol and also supports export to PovRay. You may wanna try out this 
program (http://us.expasy.org/spdbv/).

BTW, it's funny I stumbled across your posting after not having visited 
the PovRay newsgroup for quite some weeks. Yesterday I had to give a 
lecture about structural biology, and I also briefly introduced RasMol 
to the students. How about you - are you a protein biochemist or 
bioinformatician? I could use someone expreienced in structural biology, 
since it is not really my field of expertise...
