[Chimera-users] Any option for terminating minimization without losing prior iterations?

[Eric Pettersen]

If you are on a system where you started Chimera from a terminal window (usually Linux, but sometimes Mac) you may be able to get Chimera to interrupt a minimization without crashing by typing your interrupt character (usually control-C) in the terminal window.

You can see the minimization help by clicking the Help button on the GUI, or using command "help minimize".
