STRIDE

STRIDE is used by VMD to compute the secondary structure given the protein 3D coordinates. The appropriate STRIDE binary is included in the VMD binary distribution. To compile it yourself, see the web site at
http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/stride/stride_info.html for information on how to get the source and see ./lib/stride for information on how to use it with VMD.

Change line 43 of stride.h from

   #define MAX_AT_IN_RES             50
to
   #define MAX_AT_IN_RES             75
because there are many structures with non-standard residues containing more than 50 atoms.

Change line 96 of stride.c from

   return(SUCCESS);
to
   return(0);
since a program should return 0 if everything ended correctly.
