There exists a public domain program for Scatchard analysis called
RBINDING (if I remember correctly :-) written by Prof. Joop van Zoelen and
myself. I don't know whether its on the net, being out of this field for
several years now. I tried to contact Joop but he's on holiday. I'll ask if
he still supports the program, and put it on the net if he agrees.
For my own use, I ported the original LIGAND program from Munson and
Rodbard to MS-DOS, a long time ago. It is terrible user-unfriendly, just as
the Apple II version I ported it from, and would only be of use if you have
the documentation, and some perseverance to master it. I wonder, however,
where I stand legally with regard to distributing this program... could
anybody enlighten me on this?
By the way, in addition to the MS-DOS versions, I wrote Atari ST ports of
these programs. If there's any interest, please email me because I don't
read this newsgroup regularly.
Best regards, Nico
