Technical questions can be addressed to me directly. Excuse me, but isn't this an advertisement? I thought that this kind of thing was not allowed on an academic network. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I had the impression that commercial information of this kind contravenes the licencing agreement for the JANET network in the UK. I have nothing against good commercial software, particularly useful material for molecular biologists, I just don't think that taking advantage of a bulletin board is the way to advertise it. (Even if it does only cost $29.95 - there is a principle here). --------------------------------------- Andrew Wallace, FMI, Basel, Switzerland. ---------------------------------------
