There is also a Public Domain program which is very similar in function to Dicer but runs under XWindows on various Unix machines. A copy can be obtained from the FTP server of the National Center for SuperComputer Applications (NCSA). The program is called XDataSlice and can be retreived using FTP from: ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu 128.174.20.50 There is source code to build from scratch or there are binaries for some common Unix platforms. XDataSlice has some common development lineage with Dicer but IMHO is even more powerful than Dicer.
