	Does anyone know of a program (preferable public domain, but anyway
usable) available via anonymous ftp or other network distribution path which
will analyse the secondary structure present in a given set of protein
coordinates?  
	That is, I want to go from known atomic positions (not sequence)
to a listing of which residues are involved in beta-sheet, helix, etc. 
I am aware of programs by Kabsch & Sander  and  Levitt & Greer;  no doubt
others exist as well.  What I don't know is whether any of them are available
via ftp/Email/list-server.
