[Chimera-users] Write DMS missing from Tools->Structure Editing menu? (v 1.6.2 and v 1.7)

[Duncan Napier]

Hi,

Thanks. It looks like there are 2 versions on the system. Someone put in an alias to an old version, which is what ran, overriding all PATH orders etc. 

                                              Duncan.
