I've been using the Staden Package on Sun workstations to assemble
sequencer chromatograms. Consensus sequences of orthologous genes are then
imported into Genetic Data Environment 2.2 (GDE 2.2) for manual sequence
alignment and editing. Unfortunately, my university has recently updated
the Sun operating system to Solaris 5.9, which seems not to support the
OpenWindows window manager used for GDE, unlike Solaris 5.8. I've been
very satisfied with this tandem usage of Staden and GDE, and am wondering
if anyone has a suggestion how to proceed while still using the Sun
workstations. Is there an alternative to GDE or can GDE be "fixed."
