abiview<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Dear Sascha,
<P> Sorry to hear about the problem you are having running
abiview. It is difficult to tell from the error message that you get as to
what the problem may actually be. Have you been able to successfully run
abiview with any ABI files? What operating system are you using ? (I guess you
are using your own local version of Emboss). I'm not familiar with Chromas but
I notice it's a windows application. Have you got XWindows enabled on your
machine (i.e. are you using software like eXceed if you are using a pc).
<P> Apologies to answer your question with more questions but it
would help in understanding the nature of the problem.
<P>Best Regards <BR>Tim Carver <BR>
