A new software package called SCRUTINEER is now available for VAX/VMS from the EMBL File Server. This program was developed by Peter Sibbald and Pat Argos at EMBL. It allows very fast and flexible searching of protein databases. Different algorithms for searching are provided by the program. The package comes complete with Pascal source, manual and on-line help. Due to its size it had to be split in three parts. To get the complete package send a mail file to NETSERV@EMBL.BITNET containing the lines GET VAX_SOFTWARE:SCRUTINE.UAA GET VAX_SOFTWARE:SCRUTINE.UAB GET VAX_SOFTWARE:SCRUTINE.UAC If you are new to the EMBL File Server you should ask for introductory help by sending the commands HELP HELP SOFTWARE HELP VAX_SOFTWARE to NETSERV@EMBL.BITNET Rainer Fuchs, Ph.D. EMBL Data Library fuchs@embl.bitnet

It seems that some people had problems retrieving SCRUTINEER from the EMBL File Server. SCRUTINEER is a sophisticated pattern searching and database analysis program written by Peter Sibbald at EMBL. The reason for this is that Peter Sibbald has provided an update of his program, and because of its increased size SCRUTINEER is now split in *four* parts. Therefore, to get a copy of SCUTINEER you have to send the following commands to NETSERV@EMBL.BITNET: GET VAX_SOFTWARE:SCRUTINE.UAA GET VAX_SOFTWARE:SCRUTINE.UAB GET VAX_SOFTWARE:SCRUTINE.UAC GET VAX_SOFTWARE:SCRUTINE.UAD This was indicated in the DIR VAX_SOFTWARE directory listing, but obviously it was not generally realized. As a principal rule, if you have any problems with downloading software from the EMBL file server, first check the directory listings. File names may have been changed.
