Where is mGenThreader available?

Question

[inaciogmedeiros]

MODELLER website's "difficult tutorial", available at link below, makes mention and use of "mGenThreader" software. Problem is: provided website by tutorial where mGenThreaded should be doesn't has the option to use mGenThreader, neither I've found any website for which I can download it. Instead of it, I've found "GenThreader" and "pGenThreader".

So I ask: Where Can I download mGenThreader? If this is not possible, may I use pGenThreader in place of mGenThreader?

The new fold recognition method employed here (parametric-GenTHREADER - pGenTHREADER) is a significant development of our earlier algorithm (mGenTHREADER).

Are you one of the authors of pGenThreader? How nice...

Specifically talking now about MODELLER, can I use pGenThreader in place of mGenThreader?

[h.mon]

I never said I was one of the authors, sorry if you understood that. What I meant was to imply algorithmically, yes, you could use pGenTHREADER. I don't know if file format inputs / outputs are compatible, but you can easily verify.

I think mGenThreader has been retired, but you should ask the real authors.
