STADEN Package and sequencer data analysis

[Mike Smith]

   Hi,
 
       We have a automated sequencer and a Sun workstation.  Through the 
  grapevine the STADEN package has been suggested as a potential solution
  to analyzing our .alf files and analyzing multiple runs over the same
  region of DNA.   So I have several questions for the net.
  
  1) Is anyone else using a sun to analyze data from either the Pharmacia
  or Applied Biosystems Sequencers?  And what software do you use??
  
  2) Where can I get a copy of the Staden package??  And will this software 
  do the job?
  
  Thanks in advance.
