Dear Jason,

your message didn't get through to ccp4bb probably due an inconsistency
between the email address your registered as and the one you sent your
message from. you can contact ccp4@dl.ac.uk if you want this problem
rectified.

As for the rest of your message I will answer the best I can and cc'd to
ccp4bb for general interest.

This could be due to several problems - depending on what you've done or
installed! Can you send me more information on how you've carried out the
installation? no need to ccp4bb it!

I find if I need to see a different drive i firstly need to direct my ccp4i
viewer to an existing directory. e.g. instead of just typing in d:/ I
need to use d:/awa or similar then all is well....

> Also does anyone know  when is the new version (4.2)

there is no definite date as yet. The best I can say is this summer, it
will not correspond to ccp4 4.2 but more likely ccp4 4.2.1 or 4.2.2.

NB cad.exe in ccp4nt 4.1.1c needs to be replaced by the one in the
prerelease directory i.e.

ftp://ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/pub/awa/ccp4nt/prerelease/cad.exe

hope that helps - get back to me with the tcl/blt info (e.g. what version 
you installed and how you installed ccp4)
