Readseq dll?

[Dr. Greg Quinn]

Thanks Don and Xuhua for the replies; I seem to remember installing a 
scientific freeware program  a while back that included a dll called
readseq; that must have been Xuhua's program. I'll hunt around for an
old copy; that will probably be faster for me than exporting functions
from the readseq source. Thanks again.
