Hi, Thanks. It looks like there are 2 versions on the system. Someone put in an alias to an old version, which is what ran, overriding all PATH orders etc. Duncan. ----- Original Message -----
Hi Duncan, That looks like some very old version of Chimera. There should be many more entries in that menu, including Write DMS. Maybe even though you downloaded a newer version, what you are starting up is old?? You can check version with command "version" or menu: Help... About UCSF Chimera. I doublechecked in Chimera 1.6.2, 1.7 and daily build (1.8) on my machine and they all have Write DMS in that menu.

Hi, My first posting here, and I have come here after google searching high and low about this. I understand that Write DMS is now a standard part of Chimera, but I am (or more correctly, the users I support) not able to access or use it from the Tools->Structure Editing menu.
I installed the binaries (x86_64 and x86) from the UCSF Chimera site, but none of them seem to have Write DMS functionality.
I am running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (Precise) on a Dell Vostro 486 PC, Intel Core i7-2600 3.4 gHz, 8 Gb RAM, 1 Tb SATA HDD, Video AMD Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3.
What am I doing wrong? You can click on this link for a screenshot of what I see (its an XMing screenshot, but the view is the same in Ubuntu)

Any suggestions much appreciated!
