How is MacroModel distributed?
Beginning with v6.5, MacroModel is distributed on CD-ROM. Q3.9: Does MacroModel run on the latest [O2, R10000 & R5000 machines] SGI machines? Yes. However, please follow this link for some important information if you plan to run MacroModel 6.0 on an O2, Origin, Octane, or Onyx2. Q3.10: Do I need any special sort of 3D graphics adapter? Not necessarily. MacroModel has an X-Windows only mode. If you have the ability to display to an X-Terminal, a workstation that supports X-Windows, or a PC/Mac which is running an X-emulator, then you can probably run MacroModel. While the capabilities are less than in the 3D GL mode, many users find the X-Windows mode completely satisfactory. When running the program in X-Windows mode on an SGI nothing else need be done. When running the program in X-Windows mode on an IBM AIX system, you will still need to have a copy of the IBM GL library installed (libgl.a). Although no GL calls are actually made when the program runs in X-Windows mode, it is needed
