<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings to all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm a novice user of Chimera, and I downloaded it
recently with the intention to use it also for calculating molecular
surfaces as input for UCSF DOCK.From the documentation I haven't understood if
the latest version of </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Chimera is able to do
that. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If, as I suspect, it's still not possible this use
of Chimera, could you tell me if and when it will be?Do you perhaps know of
alternatives still functioning on WindowsXP systems ( I'm a novice even about
SGI ) or the better choice for me is still to study how to run old DMS on
Irix?</FONT></DIV>
