+TopDraw is a sketchpad for drawing topology cartoons of proteins
+written in Tcl/Tk. It does not calculate topology from a PDB file, but
+merely allows you to sketch a topology derived from another source.
+
+Features:
+- Easy sketching of protein topologies
+- Save/Open function for reusing/editing previous drawings
+- Postscript output for printing/publication
+- Horizontal or vertical helices and strands
+- New version allows diagonal connections
+
+Note: The source is not versioned, so a MD5SUM missmatch is expected
+when upstream released a new version.
+
