I completely agree with Lisa Caballero, Steven Clark and others that most molecular biologists need a little more help at using the GCG programs. I'd just like to add that several groups are currently working on Macintosh interfaces to the GCG package. These Macintosh front-ends are either using Hypercard or MacWorkstation to interact with the user and then subsequently building the GCG command for execution of the VAX. Our group is working on the MacWorkstation approach. I got the idea, as I believe everyone else did, from Will Gilbert of the Whitehead Institute, MIT. So if you have a Macintosh then help is on the way as alternative interfaces are in the works and should be available in the near future.
