[Chimera-users] Registration and VRML output for molecules

[Eric Pettersen]

I can certainly answer the first question.  One of the Chimera 
preference categories (under Favorites) is "Web Access".  In that 
category you can tell Chimera to use a proxy web server and designate 
that proxy.  Doing so will allow registration to work through a 
firewall.

I will defer to those more learned than myself on the second question.
