It seems our biology department is in the process of coming out of a hole and looking for their shadow. In particular, they have seen some chemical modeling programs running on an Apollo workstation and are interested to know if there are biological programs that would run on workstations. Does anyone know of some good workstation programs--especially in the areas of population modeling, genetic simulation (morphological to micro-genetics), forest canopy maping, and ways to do image processing with microscopic data? In fact, anything that utilizes the incredible graphics capability of modern workstations to aid in instruction or research in biology would be worth knowing. As it stands, we don't seem to be aware of any workstation software at all. -- John Campbell ...!arizona!naucse!jdc CAMPBELL@NAUVAX.bitnet unix? Sure send me a dozen, all different colors.

Analysis of Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope images on a Sun-3/160C; very graphics oriented. Molecular modelling of filamentous viruses on 3/160s; mostly mathematical modelling, not much in the way of graphics, could be done on any floating point CPU. Drawing molecular models on Mac-II. The possibilities are endless. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy -or- roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu "The connector is the network"
