[bionet.general] PD Vax software...

elliston@rob.UUCP ( Keith Elliston) (03/29/89)

I have seen a lot of software for the PC and some for the Mac, but is there any
archive of sequence analysis software (PD or similar) for Vaxen and Unix        machines (SUN's)???  It seems to me that much of the sequence analysis done by
molecular biology computing folks is done on machines a little more powerful 
than the Mac's and PC that seem to have all the software.  I would really
like to see someone start and archive of PD sequence analysis software for
Vaxen and Unix.

Anyone listening out there????

As I told Keith in a private reply prior to his posting his request,
BIONET's current resources are stretched just in providing the PC and
Mac software in addition to the other services that we provide.  If
someone else wants to step forward to cover the VAX and Sun, be my
guest.  Otherwise you might want to encourage the NIH to provide us
with more resources to handle this if the community values this kind
of service.

PD software for molecular biology for Vaxen is pretty thin on the ground.
However if you are only interested in "ordinary" PD software for VAX then
on BITNET you should try investigating VMSSERV@UBVMSD, and if you want
things like UU**CODE and ARCVMS then the <MISC.VAXVMS> directory on SIMTEL-20
has got quite a few interesting utilities for the VAX on offer, which
come in handy if you hae FTP'd any of the files from the BIONET direcories.

Since I have had some personal mail enquiring about the <MISC.VAXVMS> 
directories. I downloaded the latest update from Trickle regarding the
utilities that are available for VAX. Here is the listing.

I can recommend XMODEM if you do not have KERMIT for downloading,
and the other worthwhile utilities are VMSSWEEP, ARCVMS, and UUDECODE
Hope this of some help to those that asked for more information.
