Steve says: " it is our philosophy that well > designed components obviate the need for source code" I totally disagree with this opinion. If one hopes for portability, reuse and collaborative work, which was the original platform for the Biowidget efforts certainly source code must be distributed. The only good reason for not distributing source code that I can conceive, is the hope of marketing the product in the future. But then this should be made very explicit otherwise we may start by using the code than be trapped in a private-code, and have to reprogram it.

The current license for acedb is shown below. It's clear and very short. /* Copyright (C) 1991 R Durbin and J Thierry-Mieg.

See news:news.mozilla.com/public.netscape.mozilla.license and http://www.fsf.org/ A few which spring to mind are: 1) The 'not sold for profit' clause would seem to stop the commercial production of CDs on the cheapbytes model, which has been shown to be advantageous. 2) The license doesn't cover the status of third-party code added to acedb, for example the gd library used in giface. 3) The license doesn't talk about the rights of contributers to acedb _other_ than Richard and Jean. 3) I'm not sure if the acedb copyright is strictly compatible with the Gnu Public Licence, should anybody wish to use GPL code in acedb. The restriction on distribution 'for profit' and the lack of insistence that source code accompany binaries for derived works are both problems here. Would anybody who understands these issues like to comment? Maybe Richard and Jean should clarify the situation by releasing under the GPL or some other pre-established free license of their choice.

Since the original release was only tested fully on a Windows NT 4.0 machine, upon which the release DOES NOT appear to crash at all, this problem was not recognized sooner (or, rather, so few users complained about their problem running WinAce 4.5.3d in Windows '95 that I considered the very few reports of the problem to be specific to particular machine configurations, not a general problem with the software). I will attempt to troubleshoot the problem over the next few days and issue a patch/new release. This is further evidence of the non-equivalence of Windows '95 and Windows NT 4.0... and the relatively greater robustness of the latter O/S, at least, when running ACEDB. ($#@*&#&%$$?!??!!)

That's at the Sanger Centre (Hi Jean - yes, we did meet over at the EBI :-). EGCG is now officially obsolete precisely because of source code issues. I am now working on EMBOSS will have all source code available under GNU licensing. My experience has been that making source code available greatly encourages other contributions. Without source code - no more contributions. Also, using code or packages that are/may become commercial does indeed risk being trapped and forced to abondon all previous efforts and reprogram. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Rice | Informatics Division, The Sanger Centre, E-mail: pmr@sanger.ac.uk | Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Tel: (44) 1223 494967 | Hinxton, Cambridge, CB10 1SA, England Fax: (44) 1223 494919 | URL: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Users/pmr/ From owner-acedb@net.bio.net Thu Apr 02 23:00:00 1998 From: *gilmore Date: Thu, 02 Apr 1998 21:05:13 PST Organization: our house Subject: ----- more messages in one posting Message-ID: <04021998210513shila@mci.net> Newsgroups: bionet.software.acedb content-length: 747 NNTP-Posting-Host: mfs-apc-t1-p12.apc.net Lines: 22 Path: biosci!bcm.tmc.edu!news.msfc.nasa.gov!news.maxwell.syr.edu!newsfeed.wli.net!su-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!news.bbnplanet.com!nntp1.crl.com!news1.apc.net!mfs-apc-t1-p12.apc.net US 2.0.5 News is a bulk news posting program for the internet.

So if you don't do something naughty ;-) to generate a normal ACEDB crash, then you are OK. Even so, this problem has been repaired in my code here and a fix will be released. Since I have recently upgraded my compiler to MS Visual C/C++ Version 5.0 and made other improvements/code fixes, I would like to make a new full release ("winace_4.5.4a_April98.zip") of the program within the next week or so (as an Easter present!). This new release will by consequence include the crash bug fix. If this delay is of major inconvenience to anyone, please contact me by email and we will arrange something accordingly.

Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, near Cambridge, UK. Following last years successful OiB-97 conference, OiB-98 has been set for August 3rd-4th, 1998. The conference is organised by the European Bioinformatics Institute and will be held in the conference facilities at the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in the grounds of Hinxton Hall, Cambridge, UK. 'Objects in Bioinformatics' focuses upon the role of object-oriented technology, reusable software components, design patterns and distributed computing in bioinformatics and the biological sciences. The conference is aimed at those who are interested in, are developing, or have developed object-oriented software that will be of use to the bioinformatics and biological community in both academia and industry. The conference aims to address the problems now facing our scientific community of: o Heterogeneous computing environments o Effective standards for the representation of data o The distributed nature of applications, resources and data across computer networks (i.e. intranets, extranets and the Internet) o The ever-present data deluge that is hitting biology o The development of tools and resources to aid the biologist and bioinformatician A theme of this year's conference will be the implication and application of distributed object technology (such as CORBA) to biology and bioinformatics, and the work of the Life Sciences Research Task Force of the Object Management Group in promoting standards. The conference will include lectures and poster sessions on the rapidly expanding and developing fields of object-oriented software and distributed computing from both an academic and industrial perspective. Invited talks will cover the application of reusable components, tools, software libraries, distributed object technology and the role of Life Sciences Research Task Force. Speakers will also include specialists from outside the domain of biology that have already experienced our current problems. Poster stands (including a limited number with a dedicated networked computer), are available upon which delegates may showcase their work and projects. Participants are encouraged to submit a brief abstract for a poster relevant to the conference themes to promote and display their work in the field, and fuel dialogue. In the same spirit as OiB-97 , the cost of registration for the conference has been kept as low as possible with a nominal fee of 50 GBP for early registration. The closing date for early registration and submission of abstracts is July 1st, 1998. Late registration will be possible from July 2nd onwards, however the registration fee will increase to 100 GBP. N.B. Following OiB-98, the Life Sciences Research (LSR) group will be holding a technical meeting with work groups where efforts will continue in encouraging the formation of domain standards. Interested OiB participants are encouraged to attend these (and other) meetings of the LSR group, although numbers will be limited for logistic reasons. Registration for this meeting is separate from OiB - details can be found in the group's web pages. Details of registration and accommodation may be found at the conference Web site - http://www.ebi.ac.uk/oib98/ Yours sincerely, Alan Robinson. -- ============================================================ Alan J.

You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. No catch, that was it. The main difference between this system and others is that you have a mailing list of 6 instead of 5... This means that your average gain will be app. 15 times higher!!! So after thinking it over, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00? If you are worried about the legal aspects of it all, check it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161). It is legal! I have invested the $6.00............. The process is very simple and consists of 3 easy steps. You may wonder why I tell you this? It's only possible with your desire to become wealthy too. So go for it! Here are the steps: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US$1.00 bills (or equivalent in your local currency) and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1 B. Johansen, Nyborgvej 279 st mf, 5220 Odense SOE, Denmark #2 E. Pearce, P.O. Box 166, Townsend, DE 19734, USA #3 G. Montgomery, P.O. Box 38, Warwick, MD 21919, USA #4 W.Doyle, P.O. Box 196686, Winter Springs, FL, 32719, USA #5 T.Lemke, Baumstr.24, 42651 Solingen, Germany #6 Nicholas Socrates, Homedene, St Brelade's Bay, Jersey, United Kingdom, JE3 8EA STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (There is a bunch out there). All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the following: ----------------------------------------------------------- DIRECTIONS - HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS ----------------------------------------------------------- Step 1. You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and click and hold down your mouse button. While continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag your cursor to the bottom of this document and over to just after the last character, and release the mouse button. At this point the entire letter should be highlighted. Then, from the 'edit' pull down menu at the top of your screen select 'copy'. This will copy the entire letter into the computers memory. Step 2. Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' pull down menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Remember to eliminate the #1 position, move everyone up a spot (re-number everyone else's positions), and add yourself in as #6. Step 3. Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to. ---------------------------------------- FOR NETSCAPE USERS: ---------------------------------------- Step 4. Within the Netscape program, go to the pull down window entitled 'Window' select 'NetscapeNews'. Then from the pull down menu 'Options', select 'Show all Newsgroups'. After a few moments a list of all the newsgroups on your server will show up. Click on any newsgroup you desire. From within this newsgroup, click on the 'TO NEWS' button, which should be in the top left corner of the newsgroups page. This will bring up a message box. Step 5. Fill in the Subject. This will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group. Step 6. Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file and copy them using the same technique as before. Go back to the newsgroup 'TO NEWS' posting you are creating and paste the letter into the body of your posting. Step 7. Hit the 'Send' Button in the upper left corner. You're done with your first one! Congratulations... -------------------------------------------------- INTERNET EXPLORER USERS: -------------------------------------------------- Step 4. Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'. Step 5. Fill in the subject. Step 6. Same as #6 above Step 7. Hit the 'Post' button. ------------------------------------------- THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within day's! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With a original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30! So lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you will make: at #6 $15.00 at #5 $225.00 at #4 $3,375.00 at #3 $50,625.00 at #2 $759,375.00 at #1 $11,390,625.00 When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again( That's what I am doing), and start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. You just have to be honest. Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the money!! GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from this, which is tons of extra CASH. **BY THE WAY, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not sending the money to the rest of the people already on the list, you will NOT get as much. Someone I talked to knew someone who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's after seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 6 $1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This is the fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without costing anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars. Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again...

The key fact is that there is not generally any one program/script around to convert data from a particular source into a particular ACEDB database. The reason for this is that the structure (syntax/sematics) of the data must be mapped onto the database schema (ACEDB "models"). Some general tools for this may be available, but I find that often the best thing is to learn (the basics of) a general utility scripting language like perl then tackle the problem yourself. 1. Write down all the input data attribute fields. Organise them into definable objects (i.e. "Locus", "Clone", "Sequence" etc) 2. Review your ACEDB models. Attempt to map source data attributes onto your existing ACEDB model/tags. Add new tags if necessary. "Read models" into your ACEDB database. 3. Write a perl script which inputs your source data, pattern matches or parses the input into its attributes, then write out .ace file lines corresponding to the mapped tags. 4. Read in the data. If you give me a more accurate idea of precisely what LLNL data you wish to input into ACEDB (URL?) and precisely what ACEDB models you using, then perhaps I can advise you on this task, or we can locate existing scripts (at Sanger, etc.) which might do the task.

Writing "ad hoc" scripts/programs to deal with particular data converting problems is the ONLY way to go. Perl is an excellent tool in this, and I would like to add emacs, the "all-purpose" super text editor. With Perl + emacs, you can have many seemingly impossible things done. Only after you have got into it can you really appreciate its power... I think many of my fellow ACeDB entheusiasts would agree on this...

We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.
