My preferred software is PRIMER Designer from Scientific and Educational Software,
P.O. Box 440, State Line PA 17263 (717) 597-5307. Avail for DOS or Windows; we've
made scores of good primers with it. Call for a DEMO DISK. Also, get a demo of their
Clone program (cloning simulation/DNA analysis). By far the best I've seen.
