ISTable

Description

The ISTable package is a collection of classes for managing table objects. This class provides the foundation for many PDB applications which parse, search and manage mmCIF data and dictionaries. This class uses an improved indexing scheme relative to its predecessor class SSTABLE. The package is also known as CIFTable.

Documentation

Installation: For Unix-type installations, copy the compressed tar file cif-table-obj-v6.201-prod-src.tar.Z into an empty directory; uncompress and extract files using the Unix tar utility. Build the CIFPARSE library using the make utility; run the test program with 'make test':
```
   cp cif-table-obj-v6.201-prod-src.tar.Z /g/h/i; cd /g/h/i
   uncompress cif-table-obj-v6.201-prod-src.tar.Z; tar xvf cif-table-obj-v6.201-prod-src.tar
   cd cif-table-obj-v6.201-prod-src
   make
   make test        
```
If compress or tar are unavailable, individual source files may be saved to the build directory.
