Stephen Clark's shell programs for batch use of GCG software are available from the biology archive at iubio.bio.indiana.edu by anonymous FTP. The file is found with cd [.molbio.gcg] get clark_shells.txt These shells permit GCG software managers to make users run long programs in batch mode with no sweat. Included shells are: WORDSEARCH.COM FIND.COM FASTA.COM TFASTA.COM STRINGS.COM MULTIDOT.COM CHK_PROCESS.COM (Called by WORDSEARCH.COM) SEQINFO.FOR From Stephen's documentation: WHAT THESE SHELLS DO These are DCL programs that interrogate the user as to the kind of database search he wants to do: what sequence, which database, what options, etc. The shells are completely menu-driven so the user doesn't have to know before-hand what commands to use. Intelligent default answers are provided most of the time, and all the answers are checked as much as possible for errors. Simple error-checking is to make sure the specified answer was in the allowable range. Also, all sequences and data files are checked for their existance and, whenever possible, conformity to what the GCG programs expect. Author: Stephen Clark Computer Resources Manager Mt.
