Hi,
there is a pc version for chromas which works very nice.
It lets you view , edit , save the ABI called bases. If you choose
"export" in the "file" menue it will save the raw fluorescent data.
Bioedit can do the same ; it will,however, not save the raw flu. data.
I also tried exTRACE of Mark Berres. I found it very usefull as
it extracts all the data , not only the raw fluorescense.
(yes Richard , there is a lot more in the ABI file) It works
perfectly in a dos window as he describes in this thread.
