I've scanned a sequencing gel on an Apple scanner at 300 dpi greyscale and saved the resulting image as a PICT file. When I try to open the file from within Gel Reader, it just waits about a second and then it's as if nothing happened. The scanned image is pretty big, but I've tried cropping the image and making a smaller PICT file using AppleScan and increasing the partition given to GelReader. I'm up to a 4000k partition and down to a 1 Meg PICT and still no luck. I even tried it under unifinder, but that's even worse; then I get a system error (ID = 01). I'm using version 1.0 Beta 1. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy -or- roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu "The connector is the network"
