I am looking for sequence analysis programs that run on the Macintosh. If you have the names and addresses or phone numbers of companies that sell such software please send me the information. Three specific packages that I can't find information about are MacGene, MacMolly, and DNAstrider. I'd be interested in any other programs as well.

This is Peter Markiewicz, announcing the availability of
a large set of public-domain DNA and protein sequence analysis
software for the Mac. The set, currently at 15 800k floppies, contains
general-purpose analysis software and some unique programs that
do things unavailable in commercial software. I also distribute
a newsletter/review "using the Mac in molecular biology". A recent
addition to the sequence analysis set is programs able to do multiple
DNA/protein sequence alignment, such as Russell Doolittle's NEWAT
package.
I also can provide (limited) support/advice to people who are trying
to program the mac,since I've used virtually every compiler available
at one time or another. If you have a program that you are willing
to provide the source code for, I am willing to try porting it to the
Mac, or give estimates on how realistic a port is.
Currently, you can get the software by sending floppies(see below),
but I prefer sending .HQX encoded files directly through e-mail. If
you are interested in getting these programs, please contact me at
this address. If you can't use e-mail, you may request the software
by doing the following:
1.Call me at 213-825-8924
2.Send 15 floppies with blank labels and initialized to 800k
3.Also send a self-addressed return envelope with $2.40 (USA) or
stamp equivalents.
To repeat, I really prefer that you contact me through e-mail to
get the programs and newsletter.
