// January 2005 (PE 2.45):
//browtell.js was taken out of browget.js, formerly named n4c2.js.
// Apparently is contains no conditionals, and it is used only in needbrow.htm,
// therefore it could be converted to plain html.

<center><big><b>Incompatible/Unsupported Browsers</b></big> \
<br>Eventually we hope to support a wider range of browsers and platforms -- \
see <a href='vers_pe.htm#jmol'>future plans</a>. \
</center> \
<p>Incompatible Browsers: \
<ul> \
<li>Windows: Internet Explorer versions before 5.5 SP2. \
<li>Macintosh: Internet Explorer. \
<li>Macintosh: Safari. \
<li>Netscape version 6. (Has plugin bugs precluding the use of Chime.) \
<li>Netscape Navigator versions before 4.08. \
</ul> \
Unsupported Browsers: \
<br><small>(Since the Chime Installer does not recognize these, you \
would need to copy the Chime files manually into the plugins folder. \
Although Chime may work in these browsers, \
Protein Explorer has not been tested in or adapted to these browsers!) \
</small> \
<ul> \
<li>Opera. \
<li>Browsers not mentioned above. \
</ul> \
<hr noshade><center><big><b>Version Checking</b></big></center>\
The version reported at the top of this page should be correct. \
However, if you want to verify this independently, here is how \
to determine the version of your browser: \
<ul> \
<li><font color='green'>Netscape</font>: open the Help menu at the very top, and click on \"About \
Netscape\" or \"About Communicator\". \
<li><font color='brown'>Internet Explorer</font>: open the Help menu at the very top, and click on \"About \
Internet Explorer\". Pay attention to both the Version and the Update Versions. \
</ul> \
Determining the version of the <b>Chime</b> installed in your browser: \
<ul> \
 \
<li><font color='green'>Netscape</font>: open the Help menu at the very top, and click on \"About \
Plug-ins\". Scroll down until you find Chime. If Chime is not in the list \
of plug-ins, it is not installed in <i>this</i> browser. (It might be installed \
in another browser or another version of this browser on your system.) \
 \
<li><font color='brown'>Internet Explorer</font>: If you are on-line, click on \
<a href='http://www.umass.edu/microbio/chime/atp.pdb'>ATP</a>. \
If the window does not turn black and show the ATP molecule, \
see <a href='troubles.htm'>Troubleshooting</a>. \
Otherwise, click on MDL at the lower right, then on the menu \
that pops up, click on \"About...\". If you are off-line and have \
any PDB file (with a filename ending <b>.pdb</b>) on your disk, \
open the File menu at the very top, click Open, and use the Browse \
button to view the molecule. Then follow the previous instructions. \
 \
</ul> \
If you are having problems despite having a compatible browser and \
Chime, please see \
<a href='troubles.htm'>Troubleshooting</a>. \
