My point was that the second hit in the google list, was the CCP4's own program to make topology diagrams.
There was no issue of installing anything - it was an issue of looking if ccp4 has a program that makes topology diagrams. If you don't like that program, you could ask "is there another program other than ccp4's TopDraw to make topological diagrams?". Asking the ccp4bb without looking at the ccp4 list of software for what you are looking for, is - in my view - sloppy and shows lack of effort. Possibly I am too demanding. I should add, that if you type to google something like "topology diagram protein structure" you get lots of useful hits, including PDBSUM and Pro-Origami, in the first page. I do not want to discourage people asking question in the bb, but at the same time I think that some problem solving hierarchy of the order 'google it' -> 'ask your lab-mates' -> 'ask your boss' -> 'mail 5,000 people' can save everybody lots of time, can help people to grow, and might even make the bb more fun. My two cents - and sorry for the long and likely unnecessary and redundant email. A. > On Sat, Mar 9, 2013 at 1:02 PM, Edward A.
