I am re-sending this message about MacPlasmap since last time I failed to mention any info about the Kinko's. Here I include the info at the end of the old message. ----------------------- I would like to let others know a program I have written for drawing circular plasmid maps on the Macintosh. The program, MacPlasmap, provides easy methods for drawing publication-quality plasmid maps, in a complete Macintosh environment. Maps are drawn by either clicking/dragging or by entering data into various dialog boxes. Positions for restriction sites, genes, polylinkers, and other landmarks are automatically calculated. Arcs (representing genes) are automatically positioned to the plasmid circle. Different types of arrows and shading patterns are available for specifying genes. Saving, retrieving, printing (ImageWriters or LaserWriters), multiple maps, and many other features are supported. Many labs here are constantly using the program for both drawing maps and keeping plasmid construction data. I myself have been enjoying using it as much as I enjoyed creating it. The complete package of MacPlasmap is available from Kinko's as part of their Academic Courseware Exchange program at a price of $29.95 (plus $2.50 for shipping). Technical questions can be addressed to me directly. Kinko's info (By mail) Kinko's A.C.E. P.O. Box 8000 Ventura, CA 93002-8000 (By FAX) 805-652-4045 (By telephone) 800-235-6919 In California 800-292-6640 Outside USA 805-652-4158 Or contact local Kinko's stores. I believe they also carry international orders (I don't know how much for additional charges).
