Hi Don,
The 32bit version loads up a 2.2Mb genome but tends to fall over a lot
under Win95 with exception errors that need on occasion a reboot. I'm
just about to try the 16 bit version, maybe that is happier.
The online help extracts the RTF file then crashes after 3 pages however
I can open the orginal help file in Word.
Simple question.
I open the sequence and it comes up in a window with a single line nice
coloured base sequence, not word wrapped. Using the bottom toolbar I can
move anywhere in that sequence (until the location numbers get
overwritten and unreadable as one scrolls). However I can't find how to
just highlight part of the sequence for copying. It sounds so simple but
how do you do it? I just want to remove say 10kb to find the orfs.
Many thanks
Duncan
