I just received GBsearch using another of Don's products HYPERFTP
which is a must if you are doing much FTP'ing
 
Just like to report that it fired up no trouble at all... loved
the laser from the MAC to the TEMPLE, and the SLOW donkey moving
in the background was a nice touch of humour... I set the return address
to HARPER@CSC.FI, and believe it or not with FETCH I had just time to
walk down the hall from the machintosh room to my own terminal just
in time for the mail to arrive back from Genbank.

I could imagine a hypercard stack to talk to the BIOSCI nodes at
IRLEARN to help people subscribe to lists and more importantly
signoff without having to remember all of those queer commands.

Thanks once again for a nice programme

P.S. You should copy your note into BIO+SOFT since I am sure
     lots of people would like to run GBSEARCH on their MAC's
