Who can help me out? A). Recently I downloaded the program CLONES from the EMBL databanks. It comes in two halves (CLONES.UAA and CLONES.UAB). After running UUD on CLONES.UAA, I get the message, that UUD could not connect the two halves because it could not find a line that says that it found the begin of part b (clones$.uab"). I checked the .UAB file, and there is however a line that says "begin of part B of CLONES$.UAB" I downloaded everything once more, just in case; same thing. Is there a bug in the files, or am I doing something wrong? I did get it to work with SEQAID which also comes in an .UAA and .UAB part. B). Who knows where the sequence aligment program ESEE is? Thanks, Johan de Boer FS300512@YUSOL.bitnet

Use any editor to remove the "$" from the "clones$.uaa/uab" files and re-run uudecode, it will then work. CLONES is not yet on the Genbank-server at UH because of this problem. I've fixed it but not put it up yet. Several other programs in the two sw libaries have this brain-damage. It's an illegal character to the uuencode/uudecode used by the servers. dan -- dr. dan davison/dept. of biochemical and biophysical sciences/univ. of Houston/4800 Calhoun/Houston,TX 77054-5500/davison@uh.edu/DAVISON@UHOU "...and newspapers have an obligation to protect young, innocent minds from the sinister influence of actual thought" Bill Watterson ("Calvin & Hobbes") on "Pogo".
