[Chimera-users] About direct fetc hing biological assemblies into Chimera

[Tom Goddard]

Thanks Darrell,

  I’ve fixed the code so that fetching pdb biounit files uses the lower-case 4-letter id.  Fix will be in tonight’s daily build.  Oddly for some entries upper and lower case work, while for others, only lowercase works.
