From: Joseph Lipsick <JLIPSICK@BIONET-20.ARPA> I have posted a revised version of my program Plasmid Paint, for drawing circular plasmid maps on IBM-PC/compatible computers. This version is for CGA compatible displays (old color monitors or Compaq computers). The executable file PLASMIDC.EXE is available from BIONET. I will try to post this file in my BIONET directory as well, but have had trouble uploading binary files. However, the source code is available in my BIONET directory <JLIPSICK> in the file PLASMIDC.BAS. It is written in Microsoft Quickbasic v2.0. EGA verions and Hercules monochrome graphics compatible versions will be available as soon as I receive my Quickbasic update from Microsoft. The current version should run using IBM BASICA or GW BASIC, although versions of this program differ and it is also very slow running programs through interpretted BASICS. Feel free to adapt the code for non-profit purposes. However, I ask that you please NOT distribute ALTERED versions of the program for the sake of consistency in my addressing users' problems. Enjoy the program. Sincerely, Joe Lipsick <JLIPSICK> -------

From: David Kristofferson <Kristofferson@BIONET-20.ARPA> Joe et al., If one wishes to transfer binary files to the mainframe from one's PC the usual procedure needs to be modified slightly. The following example using Kermit shows what to do on the mainframe end (the procedure at the PC end remains unchanged). See also HELP FILE-TRANSFER on BIONET after the @ prompt.
