The new and currently downloadable version of STR3DI32 is 5.2.0.9
A chelated calcium ion, in the x-ray coordinate
data, of JESXIO, flawed by coordinate data errors.
Find out about STR3DI32's molecular models, how you can generate them, and how you can use them in your daily tasks, presentations, reports and publications.
The
STR3DI32 (© Vernon. G. S. Box, Ph.D.) demo version is
FREE!
This
demo version is the fully capable version of the powerful STR3DI32 molecular
modeler for WINDOWS 95/98/ME/NT/XP/Vista/Windows 7, but it can only handle 200
atoms and lone pairs (100 per structure).
This version is great for us teachers and undergrads, and by anyone that
wants to try the software before they buy the 20000 atom capable version.
The
installable demo version of STR3DI32 is packaged in the self-extracting archive
named STR32D. StrDirImage is a
zipped directory of a complete installation of STR3DI32 that you can unzip into
your drive C:\ (the root directory) for an immediate use of the program. Both options lead to the same
installation result.
The
software key that fully enables STR3DI32 to handle up to 20000 atoms and lone
pairs (10000 per structure), is no longer free. The software key that unlocks the demo version must be
obtained from Exorga. Inc. Write to us,
or read about purchasing the software key.
REMEMBER, if you have an older installed version of STR3DI32 on your
computer, please ensure that you erase the old file STR3DISP.WIN or,
STR3DISP.PAR, or STR3DISP.DAT, before running any new version of this software.
All
Users, As of version 5.1.0.1, the parent/working
directory for the program Str3Di32 must now be named \Str3Di. If your current installation has the
directory \Str then you must either rename it yourself (open Windows Explorer,
navigate to \Str, right click it, select the rename option), or download/run
the utility Str3DiUtil1. If you save this file, ensure that you
run it from a directory that is NOT \Str.
New
users, there are two ways to install STR3DI32 onto your computer.
·
You can download the StrDirImage file onto your desktop, or
some convenient directory, then click on it, and ensure that you extract the
files into the Drive C:\, or
·
You can download the STR32D file and follow the
instructions below.
Current
users seeking to update their program should download the STR3DI32.ZIP
package only.
·
Just place the ZIP in the \STR directory and then unzip the
file.
·
Remember to delete the old program environment data file, STR3DISP.DAT, before
restarting.
·
If you are using a version older than 3.0.0, download the
entire StrDirImage package and unzip it into the drive with \Str3Di.
Click here to download STR3DI32.ZIP now (download size is about 825 Kbytes, program only, STR3DI32.EXE is about 815 Kbytes).
Click here to download StrDirImage (download size is about 2444 Kbytes, includes all files and DLLs needed to run STR3DI32, utilities, templates, and others).
Click here to download STR32D now (download size is about 2443 Kbytes, includes all files and DLLs needed to run STR3DI32, utilities, templates, and others).
These self-extracting zipped files contains the STR3DI32 program, which is only about 814 Kbytes large, all of the needed DLLs (that are normally supplied by the Windows O/S but might be missing from your computer), the help file (program manual), many template molecular structure files, and other non-essential (but convenient) support files.
We have also provided, separately, VB5RTDLL.ZIP, which contains all of the DLLs needed by MS Windows in order to run STR3DI32. Most computers will already have these DLLs in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM, C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, or C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32. However, if you have the Windows Vista OS, or when you try to run STR3DI32 you get an error message about a missing DLL, then download this ZIP, copy it to your SYSTEM folder (see above) and unzip the file there.
Click here to download VB5RTDLL.ZIP now(about 1150 K).
Click here to download the generic file STRDRIVE.DAT. This file is set up for an installation of \STR onto Drive C:
PROGRAM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
We suggest that you print this page now, in order to have a hardcopy of the following instructions on using the downloaded files, above.
STR32D is a self-expanding zipped file, and includes STR3DI32 and an impressive range of molecular models and templates. You should save this file into your empty c:\temp folder, or whatever folder that makes you happy, provided that its is an empty folder. Then, double click or "run" the file so that it will un-archive itself.
Copy the files to a blank CD, USB thumbdrive/traveldrive, or to the root directory of any drive on your computer. You need to know the designation of the drive (drive, CD, or HDD) onto which the files have been copied.
If you wish to keep the expanded files on diskettes, then create 2 newly formatted diskettes (1.4 MB 3.5" diskettes). Ensure that there are no files on these diskettes!
Copy the two BAT files to one diskette and label this diskette #1, or "Installation Diskette"
Copy the other files to another diskette and label this diskette #2, or "Programs Diskette"
Place the Installation Diskette (#1) into your drive A, or access the files on the storage medium that you had selected (USB/CD/DVD whatever).
If you are using Windows, you can then Click START, go to RUN, and enter into the window -
Z:\install
X:
where Z: is the designation of the drive that has the installation files, and X: is the designation of the drive (the drive letter) onto which you want STR3DI32 to be installed. The drive Z: can be C:, or D:, or E: etc, and the drive X: can be any of these drives as well, but the installation programs MUST be in the root directory of drive Z:. Don't forget the space between the word “install", and the drive letter designation. Don't forget the colon after the drive letter. If you do not specify a drive letter for X:, then the program will be installed onto your drive C:.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
The program will be set up in the directory X:\STR, and the template files will be stored in the subdirectory X:\STR\DATA, X:\STR\XRAY, etc..
You can execute STR3DI32 just by clicking on it (double click for some guys) while viewing the X:\STR directory using “Windows Explorer”, or click “START”, then “Run”, then enter X:\STR\STR3DI32.EXE into the Run textbox.
You are encouraged to place a shortcut to STR3DI32 on your desktop. While executing, STR3DI32, click on HELP in the main menu, and then there is an option to place a shortcut onto your desktop. Do that. Otherwise, open Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory X:\STR, left-click on the file STR3DI32 and create the shortcut. Drag the shortcut to the desktop.
If your PC
does not have a floppy disk drive, or a CD R/W drive, or a USB travel drive, e-mail us and we’ll send you
alternate installation instructions.
If you have any trouble, just send us an e-mail so that we can assist you.
