Virological friends:
I am making available at our ftp site an introductory molecular
virology teaching package. This is for PCs (386 minimum) running
WIndows 3.1 or better, and expects to be unzipped in a directory
called c:\virol. It was designed on a multimedia authoring package
called Illuminatus (Digital Workshop, UK) from the HTML tutorial
available at our site (see below) and the Wisconsin WWW site
(http://www.bocklabs.wisc.edu/ed/virtut1.html). It prefers 256
colour 640x480 displays but can run quite happily on 16 colour
displays.
It is definitely a preliminary version of what is hoped to be a
distributable product: what I would like is opinions, feedback,
suggestions - download, unpack, mercilessly test-drive - and tell me
what you think. You will notice things in it from others; they have
been asked for permission, and it is not for sale, so no royalties
are payable!!
(ftp.uct.ac.za/pub/data/geminivirus/virintro.zip)
Access is by anonymous ftp (login: anonymous, password: email
address). This is a UNIX server and case is important. The file is
just under 1Mb, and unpacks to OVER 9Mb...! You have been warned.
Have fun, PLEASE feed back??
