Using Protein Explorer in linux
or other platforms besides Windows or Macintosh.

Protein Explorer (PE) requires the free, powerful MDL Chime plug-in for all of its functions. Without Chime, PE would not have been possible! MDL offers Chime 2 only for Windows and Macintosh. (There is an old SGI version of Chime 0.9z but it does not support PE.) Despite many requests for a linux Chime MDL has declined to offer one. This is beyond our control. Nevertheless PE can be operated very satisfactorily in x86 linux, or in a Windows subsystem, as detailed below.

PE works in Netscape (Windows or Macintosh) or Internet Explorer (Windows only). Other browsers may work but have not been tested.
