Hi Nitesh,<br>
<br>
The file you sent me mmp92.phi is not in the correct format for a
Delphi *.phi file. This file is supposed to contain the 3-d grid of
electrostatic potential values. Here's what the Delphi
documentation says the format should look like<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.csb.yale.edu/userguides/datamanip/delphi/manual.html#_*4_*._*2_*._*7_*">http://www.csb.yale.edu/userguides/datamanip/delphi/manual.html#_*4_*._*2_*._*7_*</a>.<br>
<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
_*4_*._*2_*._*7_*. FILE.phi:
<p>Unformatted file</p>
<pre> character*20 toplabel
character*10 head,character*60 title
real*4 phi(65,65,65)
character*16 botlabel
real*4 scale, oldmid(3)
</pre>
This means the record sizes in the file should be 20, 70,
65*65*65*4, 16, 4*4. The last record is the "params" mentioned in
the error message you get from Chimera and should be size 16 (or in
newer Delphi versions 20 or 36).<br>
<br>
The record sizes for your mmp92.phi file are 60, 72, 284, 284, 284,
... totally different. I was not able to fine what kind of Delphi
file has those record sizes. The total file size 1472120 bytes is
also about half a normal potential file. Records shown below. Did
you rename this file to have the *.phi suffix?<br>
<br>
Someone will respond to your Delphi Controller bug report when it is
assigned. It used to be that this tool did not work on Windows.
Possibly that was fixed since I no longer see that limitation
mentioned in the Chimera User's Guide.<br>

<div style="">Hi Tom,<br>
<br>
Thanks for getting back. I have attached the .phi file
(mmp92.phi) as well as the reply log file (phi bug).<br>
<br>
Incidentally, I am also unable to run Delphi through Chimera
using the DelphiController (though the Delphi executable runs
fine by itself). I recently submitted a report regarding this
with the reply log attached, but the attachment probably
didn't make it through. I am also attaching this log file,
named "bug".<br>
<br>
Thanks again.<br>
Regards,<br>
Nitesh.<br>

<div>Hi Nitesh,<br>
<br>
Turns out our report-a-bug system is not handling file
attachments properly due to some problem with our bug
tracking server. So email the *.phi file directly to me.<br>
