There are two other viable alternatives in the public domain world that allow
for reading/alysis of scanned gels, blots or TLC type plates.
        One is NCSA GELREADER which is still under early development.  It seems
directed at direct analysis of scanned gel images.  There is no quantitative
analysis is this package, yet.

        The other is Wayne Rasband's NIH IMAGE program.  It does lots of wild
things interms of image acquisition, cleanup, and amalysis.  Very easy to
quantitate  a strip on a gel or chromatogram and then stick the results
directly into a paper.  The latest version is available via anonymous FTP from
alw.nih.gov in the directory /pub/image.

        Both of these are Macintosh based applications.
