Some comments from users:

A user from Cambridge
Just downloaded ProFit on the recommendation of a collegue and got the answer I wanted within 5 minutes, what a fantastic program, easy to 'install' and elegant and simple syntax (can you tell I'm not used to this!!!).

A user from Los Alamos
Following the instructions in the on-line documentation, I was able to quickly compute the rmsd between structures in two pdb files.... Thank you for offering this program for use by the research community.

A user from the University of Chicago
Thanks a lot for writing such an useful piece of software and more importantly for documenting it and providing it for our use.
