>If it is a .gel file then the actual sequence text and even the trace
file would not have been generated yet. The gel file needs to be
processed into a .abi file. Anyone have a 377 console they could give
this a shot on? If not you could try looking for an old program, I think
it was called "bass", that ran under unix but could track gel files.
