Although we have not had an opportunity to test this driver, the GenBank database is available on an ISO 9660 CDROM and filenames conform to the 8+3 character convention, so we believe that this software may allow VAX users to utilize the GenBank CD instead of magnetic tape. Apparently the ISO 9660 driver will become a part of VMS in a later release, but you might want to confirm this with Dec. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net
