Inst. of Tech., Dept. of Chemistry Lines: 34 I posted a message a few days ago about a small package that enables the ProSite Database patterns to utilized be under Unix and MSDOS. The software is written mostly in AWK. I've received ~20 requests for the software so far. Just a small note of additional information about the portability of the Prosearch code. I've heard people have it running on several different Unix systems (Convex, BSD, SGI, Cray, and SYSV/386) as well as MSDOS. Today I found that GAWK (The Free Software Foundation's version of AWK) has been ported to VAX/VMS. VMS GAWK is available as a backup save set on RML2.SRI.COM (128.18.22.20) with source and executables. The Prosearch package runs just fine on VMS. So maybe AWK is the portable language of the future. I will be adding a VMS .com file to the distribution. -- Frank Kolakowski ====================================================================== |lfk@athena.mit.edu || Lee F.
