I'll pass your message along to our systems programming staff for their coments on technical issues. The machine is used extensively for DNA and protein sequence similarity searches and is now running the Sybase RDBMS. Solbourne's technical support in the U.S. has been excellent, although you should investigate what kind of support is available in the U.K. Disclaimer: GOS and I have no financial or other interest in Solbourne other than being satisfied customers. -- Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank On-line Service Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net
