[bionet.software] Update on molecular biology software from EMBL File Server

Rainer.Fuchs%EMBL@PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU ("Rainer Fuchs ", EMBL Data Library) (08/09/90)

Here follows a short list of new programs or updates received since
1-Jul-1990. A small modification to the server software has been made to
facilitate downloading of split files: you have to specify part one only,
i.e. filename.uaa, and you will automatically receive all parts of a package.

Those who have never used the file server before should send a mail message
to NETSERV@EMBL.BITNET and include the lines
HELP
HELP SOFTWARE
to get information on how to access the server.
