[chimera-dev] Programmer's reference

[Thomas Goddard]

Hi JD,

   We decided at or Chimera developer meeting today that we would revive 
the programmer's reference on the web.  It will still be auto-generated 
from code comments, probably from a newer version of HappyDoc.  Eric 
Pettersen will look into it.  It may be many months away since we have 
lots of higher priority projects.

	Tom
