Well, you also need to download the rasmenu program, at the same place
where you got raswin, and run rasmenu. This will give you 3 windows: a
menu window, a display window, and a command window. At least it does so
in Win3.1. I don't know about Win'95 compatibility. (I know next to
nothing about Win'95, see next...)

Good idea!

When in doubt- load binary. A good rule-of-thumb for FTPing.
In this case we are talking about tar'd/zipped (compressed) files, which
must be downloaded as binary. You will need a Unix or a VMS environment to
run them on. (Not Win'95). Read the documentation at:
http://bsmcha1.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/~roman/procheck/procheck.html
I've installed it myself on a SG Indigo, Irix 4.3 and it's working quite
well.
Procheck's input is a PDB file, and
its output are several Postscript files, which take up quite a bit of
space. Make sure you've got around 5MB spare (please correct me on this
ballpark figure, folks) per each protein
you want to analyze. (Procheck's output may be reduced, read the manual).
