and/or Stride (Linux and MacOSX), the user should refer to the 
applications' homepages.

Once the binaries are downloaded and installed, the user's task is
to re-name the files to 'dssp' or 'stride' (Linux/MacOSX) or 'dssp.exe' 
(Windows) and make them visible by the operating system's path 
(or simply copy them to the program's directory)
