[Chimera-users] save session stripping TER statements from PDB's

[Eric Pettersen]

Dear Sabuj,
	There was a fix that made it into the 1.1917 version for putting in 
appropriate TER cards (I know you are having trouble getting a working 
1.1917 for Linux right now).  If you could give me an example that 
exhibits the problem behavior, I can verify if the example works with 
1.1917 or not.  I anticipate the 1.1917 Linux download problem will be 
fixed by Monday at the latest and probably earlier.
