(Hi Walt!)
Seqaidfd is fine; the EMBL version is most likely fine too, but I
tested the one I sent to EMBL. If you use the UUEMBL.UUE provided
uudecoders, it will read the seqaidfd.uaa seqaidfd.uab seqaidfd.uac
consecutively and build SEQAIDFD.EXE, which will then self-extract
fine. To get things that work (I just tested them) try the following
lines to the UH Gene-Server:
Subject: send uuembl.uue
Subject: send seqaidfd.uaa
Subject: send seqaidfd.uab
Subject: send seqaidfd.uac
put them all in the same directory, and run *any* uudecoder on
UUEMBL.UUE, which will produce UUDECODE.EXE (oops, maybe that's .COM)
and UUENCODE.EXE[.COM]. Then use *that* uudecoder to decode the
seqaidfd encoded files:
c:\ > uudecode seqaidfd.uaa
which will produce SEQAIDFD.EXE then type
c:\ > seqaidfd
and it will extract a lot files into the current directory. (Best to
make a subdirectory first!)
If you have problems of any kind, contact me by e-mail and I'll help.
