Dear all,
Thank you for all of the replies. I compiled pymol from svn. Current
revision is 3975.
I also switched to cealign. It seems to give better rmsd without any
argument than align does. Also, if you mess around with align and give it
low cutoff value, it will eventually make one of the structure you're
trying to align disappeared completely...I don't think that is intended.
Best,
Quyen
