Hi, I'm not sure if this test is the best option. I have already written a function called 'relax_io.test_binary' which is usually run prior to the execution of any of the external programs relax can control (Modelfree4, Dasha, PyMOL, Molmol, VMD, Xmgrace, and OpenDX). This function raises RelaxErrors dependent upon different problems associated with the binary file. Currently the user can, through relax, specify a binary that's not located in the system path. So if we automatically test for all these executable binary files, then we would need to make the decision that the user must have all these programs located in the system path. There would be a benefit in having flags identifying the presence of these programs, but the downside is that flexibility for the user is removed. Was there a specific reason for adding this test?
