        COMPUTERS IN TEACHING INITIATIVE CENTRE FOR BIOLOGY
                    University of Liverpool


We have had an enquiry regarding the availability of Unix-based
teaching applications in biology.  We do not have any firsthand
knowledge of Unix or of repositories of specific or general-purpose
Unix-based teaching applications.  We should therefore be most
grateful for any information that BIOSCI users can provide - where
should we be looking?

There seems to be a groundswell of opinion that Unix and the X-Windows
user interface are going to play an increasingly important role in
academic, including educational, computing.  We would be interested
in knowing of any institutional policies leading in this direction,
both in the UK and elsewhere.

If there is sufficient feedback and interest we will collate the information
and post it back to BIONEWS.
