Steps to do to install gOpenMol on Windows 95 and NT

I'm only distributing gOpenMol (currently) as a binary distribution, if you need the source code you have to get in touch with me. The program is distributed free of charge for academic installations and academic use.

  1. You have got the gopenmol.zip file downloaded from the net. Take a program (WinZip is a good candidate) to unzip the file.
  2. Choose the directory where you want to download the program including the files. The unzip program creates a directory gopenmol and places the file in the respective directories.
  3. Change directory to the gopenmol directory and run the install.bat file. This procedure will call the wish shell and run the installation procedure. After the installation procedure you should have a new bat file in your gopenmol/bin directory called rungOpenMol.bat. This file starts gOpenMol and makes all the needed environment assignments.
  4. Run the script rungOpenMol.bat always when you want to run the gOpenMol program.

Uninstall gOpenMol

Both the Unix and the Windows versions can be removed by just deleting the root directory and the directories under the root.

The Windows version uses no register entries and places no files in the system directory.
