anna,

you need version 1.1 of the topotools plugin, which will be
shipped with VMD 1.9. you either need to install a vmd 1.9
alpha test version or download the updated plugin from
http://sites.google.com/site/akohlmey/software/topotools

Dear Dr Kohlmeyer,

I could not find VMD 1.9 alpha test version that would be available for download and when I download the updated plugin and unzip it into the correct folder, nothing happens...

Yours Sincerely
Anna

Dear Dr Kohlmeyer,

I could not find VMD 1.9 alpha test version that would be available for
download and when I download the updated plugin and unzip it into the
correct folder, nothing happens...

it works for me, so there must be some detail that went wrong.

instructions to get vmd alpha builds are here:
