If the program is started without names of structure files, it will recover the saved state of the last invocation (if available) and ignore all options but -f macro.
argument description -h give list of options -t TTY interface (no graphics) -o name alternate input/output device -2 stereo mode (OpenGL only) -a display all atoms (not backbone only) -s superimpose complete backbone -r range superimpose given backbone range -f file execute macro file (- for standard input) files DG, PDB, Angle or Dump files
Besides the listed options, the program will also recognize standard Xt options, like -bg color for setting the background color.
The following command line options are recognized:
If you want to use one of these options, you can either start the executable from a command prompt, or define a shortcut, and then set the argument in the properties of the shortcut (right click on icon, select "Properties", click on "Shortcut" tab, and add the argument after the executable in the "Target:" field).
argument description -stereo stereo mode file execute macro file
You can also start MOLMOL by defining it as program to be started for files with a certain exptension (like .pdb), and then double-clicking a file with this extension.
MOLMOL also supports drag and drop for some common molecule file types. If a file with one of the following extensions is dropped into the main window of the running program, the file is loaded with the corresponding command:
extension description .pdb ReadPdb .ent ReadPdb .cor ReadDg .mol2 ReadSybyl .ml2 ReadSybyl .xyz ReadXyz .ang ReadAng .seq ReadSeq other ReadDump
