Hello again,
As I have seen from the web server logs a fair number of people downloaded
my program, which is really good. However, I have not received any
feedback (with one exception - hi S.!), which is not so good. Were there
any problems? Couldn't get it to work at all? Was it complete crap? Did it
just leave you indifferent?
I'm just trying to get a feeling of whether anybody is actually using the
program, and what those people thought of it.
I'd appreciate any feedback,
Anton
BTW: I have added mol. weight determination for proteins and have also
redone the user interface to make it less confusing. I'll probably put
this version on the web in the near future. If there is something that
ought to be changed before I do that - let me know about it! For Mac users
there's now also a StuffIt archive on the web page.
