Delphi and Chimera
Dear all, I have seen Chimera is able to create potential map using Delphi but, in your site, it is stated that this is valid only for unix systems. I have Delphi installed into windows and linux systems: it will be possible in the (near) future to run DelphiController onto these systems ? Thanks a lot for your attention, Best Regards, Marco -- Dr.Marco Sette, Ph.D. Deaprtment of Chemical Sciences and Technology University of Rome, "Tor Vergata" via della Ricerca Scientifica, 00133, Rome, Italy e-mail: sette@uniroma2.it Tel.: +39-0672594424 Fax: +39-0672594328
Hi Marco, The Chimera documentation says DelphiController works only on unix systems. That includes Linux. I am not sure what the problems are with DelphiController on Windows. I see it tries to do a Python os.popen("delphi paramfile > outfile", "r") which probably will not work on Windows because of the ">" output redirection. There may be more substantial reasons why it will not work on Windows. For example, the way Windows DelPhi is executed may be different. The person who wrote DelphiController, Joe Murray, no longer works here. Perhaps someone else here knows more about Windows DelPhi and can comment. Tom
Is that a binary file? If so, the mode for os.popen should be "rb" instead of "r" so the Windows runtime doesn't collapse any adjacent \r\n bytes to just \n (not sure what the chances of that are, but it would be fatal). - Greg On Wed, 9 Jul 2003, Thomas Goddard wrote:
