Command Line Arguments

Specifying an Input File

Fungimol can take zero or one command line arguments. If the command line argument is specified, it is interpreted as the name of an input file to read. For example, if you have installed Fungimol in the standard place and you give the command
fungimol /usr/doc/fungimol-0.3.4/tutorial/molecule/benzene.pdb
you'll see a benzene molecule.

Configuring Web Browsers to Invoke Fungimol

Because Fungimol takes an input file as a command line argument, it is possible to configure web browsers to use Fungimol as a viewer for pdb files or any other file format that Fungimol can read. For Netscape 4.72, the procedure for doing this is: Now you can browse the web looking for PDB files to read. For example, Fungimol works reliably with the differential gear at http://www.imm.org/Parts/Parts3.html.
