Here's an updated list of my programs available at
ftp.gene.ucl.ac.uk, with thanks to John Attwood for supporting
this site. The main upgrade is that DOLINK is now available in
GUI form with C++ source code, enabling it to be compiled on X
platforms as well as running under DOS or Windows. This makes
use of Julian Smart's free wxWindows library, and I gather that
it may also be possible to target Macs. There is now also a
simple database program to accompany DOLINK called QDB, and this
can also be compiled for X.
PROGRAM LIST
Generally up-to-date versions of the programs listed will be
available by anonymous ftp from a local site, kindly supported
by John Attwood. This is ftp.gene.ucl.ac.uk (128.40.82.1),
and my programs will be kept in /pub/packages/dcurtis. Also
accessible via WWW as http://diamond.gene.ucl.ac.uk/. If you have
a problem with any of the programs, then try looking here first to see
if a new version has come out which fixes your problem.
Some of the programs are also available at a bigger site, by
anonymous ftp from ftp.bchs.uh.edu, either now or in the near
future. Look in the directory /pub/gene-server/dos. They may
also be available from ftp.embl-heidelberg.de
(/pub/software/dos), ftp.bio.indiana.edu and other mirror sites.
If you do not have access to ftp then you may be able to obtain
them by email from gene-server at bchs.uh.edu (send mail with
subject: SEND DOS HELP) or from netserv at embl-heidelberg.de.
Because we are unsure of how much demand for this service there
would be, not all the packages have been uuencoded to prepare
them for emailing out, but if you write to the archive
maintainer Dan Davison (dbd at bchs.uh.edu) then he may be able to
do this for you.
If all else fails the packages can be obtained by post from me
on receipt of an appropriate number of 5.25 or 3 inch floppy
disks. Please make sure you format them first!
