I've tried to decode seqaidfd.uaa from EMBL DOS_SOFTWARE several times but there always seems to be a CRC error in the seqaid.ovr file that pkzipfix can't correct. Has anyone else had this problem and where can I find an unbroken version?? Thanks in advance. Walt Hill WEH@FDACFSAN

If you use the UUEMBL.UUE provided uudecoders, it will read the seqaidfd.uaa seqaidfd.uab seqaidfd.uac consecutively and build SEQAIDFD.EXE, which will then self-extract fine. To get things that work (I just tested them) try the following lines to the UH Gene-Server: Subject: send uuembl.uue Subject: send seqaidfd.uaa Subject: send seqaidfd.uab Subject: send seqaidfd.uac put them all in the same directory, and run *any* uudecoder on UUEMBL.UUE, which will produce UUDECODE.EXE (oops, maybe that's .COM) and UUENCODE.EXE[.COM]. Then use *that* uudecoder to decode the seqaidfd encoded files: c:\ > uudecode seqaidfd.uaa which will produce SEQAIDFD.EXE then type c:\ > seqaidfd and it will extract a lot files into the current directory. (Best to make a subdirectory first!) If you have problems of any kind, contact me by e-mail and I'll help. dan ps If Keith L. is still there, please tell him hi for me pps I will resend the files to Rainer at EMBL just in case they'be been munged by Behind Its Time NET. -- dr. dan davison/dept. of biochemical and biophysical sciences/univ. of Houston/4800 Calhoun/Houston,TX 77054-5500/davison@uh.edu/DAVISON@UHOU Disclaimer: As always, I speak only for myself, and, usually, only to myself.
