[Chimera-users] Chimera doesn't display AMBER molecular dynamics trajectories with periodic boundary condition.

On a related note, there _is_ an error in the way Chimera handles  
NAMD/CHARMm DCD files _without_ periodic box information in the  
1.2304-1.2318 releases.  You will get a "DCD format error 9".  If  
this bites you, send me mail and I'll send you a file with the fix  
that you can drop into your Chimera.
