cns_edit(7)

NAME
cns_edit - Wrapper function for the cns_edit script distributed with cns to edit cns input files using web browser interface (crystallography)

SYNOPSIS
cns_edit [ -help ] [ -tem template-file ] [ -def defaults-file ] input-file-name.inp

DESCRIPTION
cns_edit enables the user to edit cns.inp and related files with a convenient web-based GUI editor. To get it to work right on OS X, it is best to use one of the Mozilla-family browsers. The nicest option for this is the Camino web browser, as it is Cocoa-based and presents the best interface, both in terms of asthetics and functionality. Camino can be obtained for free at this website: http://www.caminobrowser.org/ After installing Camino, have each user set a preference as follows:

cd ~/Library/Application Support/Camino Create, and then edit a file called user.js and put in it the following line:

user_pref("browser.download.autoDownload", false); Doing so will now allow you to choose the directory into which you can save the edited input file. The companion _cns_edit completion function completes the names of inp, sdb, and def files, and if no inp files are present in the current working directory, or if the flag -tem is given, the user is suppled with a menu of template input files present in the cns local installation.

SEE ALSO
Issue the command cns_web for full documentation and to access the GUI interface.
