I do not agree that ACTG is a poor choice.  In my experience, there
has been no ambiguity in this matter.  This is a long established 
convention that would make all previous papers unnecessarily obsolete.
I would strongly encourage journal editors not to consider such
an unnecssary change.  Poor quality printers can distort practically
any message.  I suggest that those who have problems with ACTG should
improve the quality of their print output would would be beneficial 
to all other printing.     Eric Triplett, University of Wisconsin
