Hi chimera-users,
the Chimera installer seems to know some options and modifiers, but I could not find out what they mean:
# ./chimera-1.2540-linux.exe -help UnZipSFX 5.41 of 16 April 2000, by Info-ZIP (Zip-Bugs@lists.wku.edu). Valid options are -tfupcz and -d <exdir>; modifiers are -abjnoqCLMVX. #
Does anybody know what these options and modifiers do or where I can read about them?
My motivation is, that I'd like to install Chimera in a non-interactive way (batchscript) in a non-standard location. Is there a way to achieve that?
Thanks in advance

On Linux, the chimera installer is a self-extracting zip file, so the options you see are the options unzipsfx accepts -- do "man unzipsfx" for more details. For batch installing, you'll need to give the installer an answer to the one question it asks by redirecting standard input to be from a pipe or a file. For example: chmod +x ./chimera-1.2540-linux.exe echo /usr/local/chimera | ./chimera-1.2540-linux.exe Good luck, Greg Couch UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
