A program called Primer is available via anonymous ftp from
genome.wi.edu, thats at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Mass. What
is available via ftp is the C source which runs nicely under Unix or VMS.
Macintosh, IBM-PC, and Sun executibles are available. Note the Macintosh
version is not a Macintosh interface, rather its just a TTY window on the
Macintosh and looks just like the Unix, PC, or VMS versions. A complete
manual is also available.
For all the information retrieve the readme.asc file from the
/distribution/primer.0.4 directory. This file tells all about whats
available and how to get a Macintosh copy. This is not public domain and
there is a license to be signed, no commercial use is allowed. See the
readme.asc file for details.
