Description of the Materials & Methods Hypercard stack, by JWBrown
--------------------------------------------------------------
Materials & Methods ("M&M") is a Hypercard stack for the Apple
Macintosh series microcomputer. The stack is designed for use by
scientists (molecular biologists in particular) for the storage, retrieval &
dissemination of laboratory protocols. The current version of M&M (3.1)
comes pre-loaded with many protocols (67) of general interest, as well as
some of more specific interest to those working with RNAs and
methanogens. The stack has automatic systems for adding new procedures
(either typed in directly, or copied from text-only files) and deleting
unwanted procedures. All procedures are user-editable and can be printed or
saved as MacWrite disk files. The stack is designed to function as much as
possible like a standard Macintosh application, with a menubar, pull-down
menus, buttons and windows. M&M will run on any Macintosh computer that
can run Hypercard, but users of large-screen monitors will find that M&M
misplaces menus (this problem will be fixed in later versions of M&M).
Hypercard 1.1 (or later) required.

This stack is available by anonymous ftp from the bionet
archives at net.bio.net, currently in the /receive directory.
You may also contact the author to receive a bitnet mailing
of the stack (~400Kbytes) or send a floppy disk by mail to him.
