=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists.  Your participation is much appreciated.

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and 
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly 
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem 
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 new()

 Title   : new()
 Usage   : $struc = Bio::Structure::Model->new(

 Function: Returns a new Bio::Structure::Model object from basic 
	constructors. Probably most called from Bio::Structure::IO.
 Returns : a new Bio::Structure::Model object
