Installation section of Manual
The old version of DOCK, DOCK 5.4, was pre-compiled for Windows. However, it has many bugs which are fixed in DOCK 6, and were never fixed in the DOCK 5 series. If you are using DOCK 5.x, we strongly urge you to upgrade to DOCK 6 (free to academics, new reasonable prices for companies).
