I have to add my name to the "Pro-GCG" side. I use it almost daily and I find
that others in the lab have picked it up quite easily, even the "computer-
phobes." Sure, there is a learning curve, but I find that anything worth
learning has a curve, some steeper than others. I use both the VMS and Unix
versions. I see Unix as the future of biocomputing (but only if the interface
can be simplified for novice users), and especially programs like GCG and the
new version of the Staden package. Enough.
Another "Steve" for GCG
