[ccp4bb] SGI Dialbox on Coot/UCSF Chimera/ccp4mg/pymol

[Zhijie LI]

Hello,

Does anyone know if any of these graphical softwares: COOT, UCSF  
Chimera, ccp4mg, PyMOL, accepts input from a sgi dialbox? And how to  
setup?


We have just got one old SGI 8-dial box working on our linux PC  
(Fedora 8, x86_64). But it seems that only O responses to the input...


Thanks in advance,

Dear Zhijie Li,

For Coot, David Gohara once made a version of Coot (0.1) that worked 
with dials on the Mac.  However, I never managed to get his extension 
code to compile, so support was not continued into future versions 
(there is no substantial reason why that should continue to be the case).


Last time I checked, you could still get David's build of Coot (and 
extensive instructions) from the SBGrid's web site.


Paul.
