Apparently the ISO I haven't seen the GenBank CD, but the JPL drivers work fine on the VAX and let me look at almost any CD -- am I missing something here? Also, there is another excellent driver, free, on the EMBL and UH servers, by the great biohacker Peter Stockwell. It's called CD-ACCESS in the VMS sections. I assume the FTP sites have it also. If I am mis-understanding something here, please let me know! dan -- dr. dan davison/dept. of biochemical and biophysical sciences/univ. of Houston/4800 Calhoun/Houston,TX 77054-5500/davison@uh.edu/DAVISON@UHOU Disclaimer: As always, I speak only for myself, and, usually, only to myself.
