Now I'm confused :-) > I have Chime currently installed and it works fine in Netscape. > Currently neither Explorer or Mozilla handle .pdb files. IE will work fine. All you have to do is install the Chime plug-in for IE
There is no Chime plug-in for Mozilla. Why do you want to access .pdb files through a web page? Do you have existing web pages that you want to view? > I want to be able to install Jmol without corrupting the > interaction between Netscape and Chime. You say 'install Jmol'. I think that means there is something fundamental which you are missing. The Jmol application does nothing with mime-types. So it is not going to interfere with anything that is going on between Netscape and Chime. The JmolApplet is something that you insert into a web page when you are designing a page where you want to display molecules. But mime-types are not involved. > I'm the person behind the curtain [EMAIL PROTECTED] project and I'd like > to be able to compare Chime and Jmol (and perhaps RASMOL) side-by-side > on the same nanoparts without having to constantly change > mime types or other configuration parameters. You shouldn't have to do anything. Why do you want to use a web browser anyway. Just run the RasMol application and the Jmol application. They are completely independent, don't have anything to do with mime-types, and will not interfere with each other. (Given that you are working on [EMAIL PROTECTED], you want to be running the cvs HEAD version of Jmol, not the officially released version.) >> Are you saying that you would *rather* use Chime than Jmol? >> Why on earth would you want to do such a thing?! >> Heaven forbid! >> ;-) > > Yes, probably so :-) I was actually quite serious.

I'm sorry ... this statement doesn't make any sense to me. Please try to clarify. > Do I just open the .pdb file from within Jmol once it is running? Yes. It is an application just like any other application. Start the application, open a file.

There are two things: 1. The Jmol application is a standalone application. 2. The JmolApplet is an applet for embedding in web pages. They share the same core ... but they are used in two different ways. Since you started talking about Chime, I assumed you were talking about the JmolApplet ... which is a Chime substitute. I hope that this has helped. If I have confused you more, just write back. :-) Miguel > > Thanks, > Robert -------------------------------------------------- Miguel Howard [EMAIL PROTECTED] c/Pe�a Primera 11-13 esc dcha 6B 37002 Salamanca Espa�a Spain -------------------------------------------------- telefono casa 923 27 10 82 movil 650 52 54 58 -------------------------------------------------- To call from the US dial 9:00 am Pacific US = home 011 34 923 27 10 82 12:00 noon Eastern US = cell 011 34 650 52 54 58 6:00 pm Spain -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email sponsored by: Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo The Event For Linux Datacenter Solutions & Strategies in The Enterprise Linux in the Boardroom; in the Front Office; & in the Server Room http://www.enterpriselinuxforum.com _______________________________________________ Jmol-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jmol-users
