Hi We, at Wesleyan, have developed a software called "Dials and Windows", which is a very useful graphical tool for analyzing the huge amount of data produced by typical molecular modelling of nucleic acids and proteins. This program is a graphical interface to "Curves" algorithm developed by Richard Lavery and Heinz Sklenar to study irregular nucleic acid and proteins. "Dials and Windows" runs currently on a wide variety of graphics plateforms and can analyze data from the most common molecular modelling software. We are getting ready to distribute it to the educational institutions and if anyone is interested in knowing more about this, please let me know by sending e-mail to me: gravishanker@eagle.wesleyan.edu Internet gr@wesleyan BITNET There will be some paperwork required (license as well as information to keep on our file for future updates) before receiving the software and we do charge a small fee, mainly to cover the cost of media and documentation. Currently, the program runs under VAX/VMS, Unix System V.x and AIX V3.x. The graphical interface requires VAX/GKS, Silicon Graphics GL or Postscript printers (or interpreters). We provide our own Postscript drivers, so if the user wishes to use only the Postscript graphics, the GKS and GL are not required. G. Ravishanker
