Hi folks,
Thought I'd pass this along to you. Greg Rutledge found problems
running some Biosym software that we think may be caused by a bug
in the AUI. He describes the problem below and how to reproduce it.
We've found a workaround for him by having him use the old dash
interface so this is more an FYI than anything. If you do have
any suggestions that might fix the problem, let me know.
Thanks,
