[chimera-dev] again Chimera and Dock

[Roberto Sanavio]

Greetings to all,

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 Chimera is able to do that. 

on Thu, 19 Dec 2002 Eric Pettersen wrote, answering to Eckhart Guthöhrlein , same date:

"The current version of Chimera (12/02; build 1602) doesn't have the 
capability to prepare an ms file suitable for DOCK, though we 
anticipate that capability being in the next release (~ 3/03).  "

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?

Thank you for your patience,
