I do not use DSSP, but I use the very similar (and some say better) stride.
Stride, I believe, is mostly an implementation of DSSP with some
"improvements". It mostly gives the same assignments as DSSP with rare
exception. Secondary structure assignment specialists may correct me on this
one. The stride homepage is/was

http://www-db.embl-heidelberg.de/jss/servlet/de.embl.bk.wwwTools.GroupLeftEM
BL/argos/stride/

(the link was split by my email program, so you will have to concatenate the
two preceding lines of text)

I have compiled an OSX version of stride (not m$ windoze--HA!) at the link
below. I believe that I am making this software available in accordance with
the license in the documentation.

http://keres.colorado.edu/stride2pdb/stride-osx.tar

Since the stride output is not readable by PDB parsers in general I made a
utility called stride2pdb that solves this problem. It is available at

http://keres.colorado.edu/stride2pdb/

stride2pdb is a perl script so you should have perl running. Perl is
standard on unix boxes (Linux, OSX, IRIX, etc-x, but not m$ windoze--again,
HA!).

Please read the README file for usage.
