The recommendations include: GeneWorks, MacVector, DNAStar, Vector NTI, and the X-windows interface to GCG (WPI). Some also mentioned that the speed of GCG on a UNIX box cannot be duplicated on a Mac. To judge for yourself, I've excerpted comments at the end of this message. Thanks again to the following people! Lucien Bachner Gregg Wells Francois Jeanmougin Carolyn Blake "Daniel B. Oerther" Jeff Shumaker Dr. JOAO V. COSTA David Wang Shan Patrick Martin T.B. Shin tshin@fas.harvard.edu ====== I think you can find Mac packages giving more or less GCG features but you will not have the power you have with GCG-Unix. I must admit this fact despite the fact that I am a Mac fanatic lover. Lucien Bachner ------ Take a look at GeneWorks from Intelligenetics (800-876-9994). I currently use MacVector and am stuck with it because of the price of changing (any such molecular biology software costs >$2500). If I could buy a new package, I would go with GeneWorks. I cannot compare it to GCG, but get a demo disk and check it out. Gregg Wells ------ I'd test a package named DNA star, two or three years ago. It gives some of the most important functions of GCG. in other and, you will never have the power of a UNIX machine (or DEC) on a mac. This will give headhake to your system manager to index the databases on a Mac. (big disks with fast accesses are, for me, not easy to manipulate). More than that, I was never able to run the equivalent of the gelaseemble programm correctly. I think that it will be better to buy some 17" screens and install MacX and then run GCG under the WPI (Wisconsin package interface). It needs to learn a little bit and waste one or two hours to understand how it works, but it will take less time than to find and test and learn a new package, even on a Mac. Never forget that research needs liberty, that is in informatic synonyme of complexity, and that GCG is the most open package that will ALWAYS be in the TOP of the research (in terms of algorithm, matrix AND tools). Francois Jeanmougin ------ a number of our scientists decided on the GeneWorks Mac program. i don't know how it compares with GCG functionality, however. there is currently a movement here to get GCG, since that's what postdocs et al are used to from their university experience... i think you should check with GCG first, though, and see if they've got a Mac interface to their package. i know they've got an X-windows interface that, in the worst case, you could probably run on a Mac using MacX or eXodus. carolyn blake ------ I know that Kodac Co. has a package called MacVector which does many of the same things through a window interface. MacVector relies heavily upon either CD ROM or Internet connection to access the data from the NCBI database (GENEMBL, and Medline, and Prosite(?)) Anyway, if you had a decent server client interface within your department, it might be worth trying. Best of Luck. Dan ------ May I respectfully ask you to check out our web site, InforMax, Inc. at the URL listed in our .sig. Vector NTI is the best plasmid drawing, construction, design and pcr software available on the market. We are currently working on a sequencing/alignment application as well. If you are interested in contacting us all the information is there. Thank you. Regards, Jeff Shumaker http://www.access.digex.net/~informax/home.html ------ I have two packages for the Mac: MacVector from IBI/Kodak and GeneWorks from Intelligenetics. They are comparable in features but most of my students prefer MacVector because it seems more friendly. Both do database searches but they take a lot of time. I think they can't compare with GCG. Both programs are VERY expensive. I had the same problem with young people used to the Mac OS and unfamiliar with command line language. However, this has been considerably solved with the new graphical interface of version 8 of GCG. Since I am used to the old Unix style, it was not a wonder for me, but some of my students welcomed the new WPI interface. I hope this helps. Joao ------ My name is David Wang and I'm in charge of building a molecular biocomputing cluster here at the University of Chicago. As you may have noticed, the UNIX version of GCG isn't exactly the easiest thing in the universe -- it is not intuitive and there are far too many commands and options. This is why, at the UofC, we are providing full support for the Ver8.1 of the GCG package under the X-window emulation mode. You might want to check it out. If you aren't aware of the development pathway, GCG just came out with an X-window interface to GCG. In real terms what does it mean? It means that it looks and feels like any other windowed program. Additionally, if you have X-window emulators running on IBM or Macs, it can be pseudo-native. You should check it out. David Wang ------ Doesn't the GCG have a point and click - GUI interface using X windows? -Shan ------ considering that i had to do this same evaluation for our company two years ago, i'd say that "LaserGene" from DNAstar (somewhere in Wisconsin, I think) is the clear winner, with a much more extensive set of general biochem/molbio utilities than any other Mac-based package available at the time. I looked at many mac apps, including MacVector and IntelliGenetics' "GeneJockey", and while Genejockey came close in overall utility and flexibility, LaserGene wins out. we ended up sticking with GCG partly because the industrial license is $6,000 (GCG is $12,000, but you get complete source code) and partly because we need size and speed for some of our applications (we have a Sun SPARC20+64 MB RAM for this) pat martin ====== From owner-software@net.bio.net Sat Sep 02 23:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!bloom-beacon.mit.edu!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.sprintlink.net!futuris!news From: jthompson@mail.Sliceoflife.com (The.Slicer) Newsgroups: bionet.software Subject: !!FREE Web Pages for Shareware Developers Products FREE!!

Extract each part from your mail, remove any mail header information and concatenate all four parts in the right order into a single file named GCG-MENU.UUE . Extract UUD.C, remove mail headers and compile & link it CC UUD.C LINK UUD,SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTL/LIB Assign a symbol for UUD and decode GCG_MENU. UUD :== $disk:[directory]UUD UUD GCG-MENU Now extract UNZIP in the same way and decode it. Then define a symbol for UNZIP and decompress GCG-MENU.ZIP (which you got by decoding GCG-MENU.UUE).

Built-in features include: complete drawing program, simple word processor to create text in any font and any color, sound effects library, music composition and optional digitized speech through the ordinary PC speaker, Sound Blaster and other sound card support using the sound utility software of your choice, resolutions from 2-Color CGA through 256-color VGA, .PCX and .GIF file display and creation, store up to 100 pictures on a single 360k floppy, special effects such as curtains, nova, granular fades, diamonds, fingers and swipes, grid and coordinate display for precise drawing creation, super-imposing, layering, combining files, hook executable programs and batch files into multimedia presentations, display text files of unlimited size within graphics windows or full screen, more, more, more! You can even create full multimedia multiple-choice tests which automatically link users to remedial information when they miss questions, and congratulatory screens when they get them right. Computer Magic Professional comes with a royalty-free, multi-faceted run-time program called CMSHOW.EXE, with which end users can view your presentation screen by screen, forward, backward or randomly, and even search for any word or phrase within your presentation, or via hyperlinks, in which users can point to anything on screen with mouse-driven or arrow-key driven pointer and be taken to any location within your presentation. Things change. This is no more obvious than in computer technology. Good news: Computer Magic is continuously updated. Furthermore, if you have purchased Computer Magic PROFESSIONAL, from version 11.73 on, you will receive free updates every three months for one year! If you have the Standard Edition, and purchased it directly from Another Company or OEC Systems, or Vision River, you can upgrade for only the difference in price, which is $85.00, postage included. By upgrading, you'll get all the Professional Edition options, such as all 53 fonts, the multiple-choice test module, the puzzle module, FlexiFont and Line Editor, plus the quarterly updates. You also get to participate in the new paradigm. What we're talking about is a new business, based upon applying technology to an old business system. The information superhighway is here now, and growing at an amazing rate. Let's go for a drive. In its current form, it consists of the Internet, CompuServe, America Online, 70,000 other BBSs, shareware disk distributors, CD-ROM producers and millions of individual people copying disks for friends and associates. Over 100 million IBM-compatible computer users are already cruising along. You have Computer Magic, so you have lots of power. You can put 18-wheelers of information on the highway. You can teach, you can preach, you can advertise. It is really easy to create a presentation, upload it to some BBSs or send some disks to shareware distributors, and have your information seen by tens of thousands of people, maybe more. There is profit in this technique. For instance, if your hobby or business happens to be playing brass instruments, you could create a presentation called "Beginning Trumpet." It could be freeware, meaning that everyone is free to use your trumpet lessons without payment to you. You could even tell people that it is ok to copy and pass your "Beginning Trumpet" lessons around. Here's the trick: In your "Beginning Trumpet" lessons, you add a commercial, just like on television. Perhaps you can also create "Intermediate Trumpet Lessons." You advertise it in your freeware "Beginning Trumpet" presentation. This one will not be freeware. It is $19.95, and the only way people can get it is by sending the money to you. And then, you could also write and sell "Advanced Trumpet," "Playing the Blues on Trumpet," "Beginning Trombone," "Intermediate Trombone..." you get the idea. What we have just mentioned brings good rainy-day spending money for many people, and even a nice full-time income for some, but we think it can be easier, and more profitable. Stay with us, this is where it really gets interesting! What if you could offer something which many people would like to purchase? What if you didn't have to write the follow ups, but simply the freeware presentations. What if you could sell your product, without actually having to copy and send out disks or even deal with money? A couple of authors who just starting out with the freeware technique we just discussed, mentioned that many of the people who responded did not want their advanced lessons, but wanted to know how to create their own products of the same type. They wanted Computer Magic. It is obvious that many millions of people who get computers want to use them primarily as an outlet for their knowledge. For that there is no better combination than Computer Magic and the Information Superhighway. So, what we're proposing is that you can now profit from what occurs naturally - you can sell Computer Magic Professional directly to your viewers. And, I've made it really simple and easy. Here are the details: 1. You create a presentation about anything which interests you. 2. In your presentation, you include an ad, commercial or hint about Computer Magic Professional. 3. In the ad, you put Another Company's address and phone number, plus your phone number, or an ID number of your choice. (You can just put your phone number and address instead of Another Company's if you'd rather. Then when people call or write, you can forward their orders to Another Company.) 4. People who see your presentation will phone or write Another Company to purchase Computer Magic. Everyone will be asked how they found out about it. If they mention your ID number or product name, I'll send you a check for $25! You never have to answer your phone, deal with payments, or copy and send disks. I do all that for you. 5. Of course, you are invited to sell Computer Magic by old paradigm techniques too, such as direct advertising, or word of mouth. But wait, it gets even better! If someone who has purchased Computer Magic because of your presentation(s), sells it to someone else, you get another $5 for that. And if that person starts selling Computer Magic, you get $5 for every one of those sales too, down through 5 levels in addition to the first level. Imagine the potential! Let's say you are a terrible author, and only 5 people purchase Computer Magic because of your presentation. That's $125 for you. Let's also assume that those 5 people are also terrible authors and they too, only manage to sell 5 copies. That's 5 times 5 people, or 25 people times $5, which is another $125. That's the second level. If the same ratio holds true for the subsequent levels, then this chart would be accurate: Level # of people $ per sale $ This Level $ Total ====== ========= ======= ======== ======== 1st 5 25 125 125 2nd 25 5 125 250 3rd 125 5 625 875 4th 625 5 3,125 3,200 5th 3,125 5 15,625 18,825 6th 15,625 5 78,125 96,950 5 people purchase Computer Magic and you get $96,000 per year? Well, probably not. This chart is very likely to be inaccurate for several reasons. First, not everyone who purchases Computer Magic will want to take up the business opportunity. Secondly, some people may not want to renew their annual subscription. The quarterly updates are $100 per year. However, to maintain proper integrity in representing Computer Magic, the people selling it should own, use and know about the latest version, and so continuing the subscription is required in order to receive your monthly bonus checks. Therefore, you can assume anyone who is participating in this business will stay subscribed. And third, there is no reason to assume that you'll get five people to purchase Computer Magic. It could be fewer, or far more. You could write more than one presentation. You could update and redistribute your presentations periodically. You could sell Computer Magic via other means as well. This is also true of all the people in the levels below you. We have no idea how successful this will be, so, please don't expect to make a fantastic fortune from it. On the other hand, we believe that with almost no effort on your part, you can make some extra money and have lots of fun doing it! How can we do it all for $99.95? Computer Magic Professional is advertised via shareware and network marketing, so our advertising cost is low and therefore the price to you is low. Computer Magic is an efficient, fully self-contained package, with a complete disk-based owner's manual. Finally, we ship everything via first class mail, so no cost is wasted in excess warehousing/order processing. Because it is easy-to-use, you can start making professional products with Computer Magic Professional the first day you own it! To get your copy, send $99.95 in US funds to Another Company, or phone with your Visa or MasterCard. We can also take a check by telephone. Postage is free, to anywhere in the world!

Gayle The model in the Ligand program developed originally by Munson and Rodbard was (if I remember correctly): B=K1*F + K2*F + N*F Where K1 and K2 are the equilibrium binding constants for the 2 receptor sites, N is a constant for non-specific absorption, and Bound and Free ligand are self-explanatory. Note that the model assumes that non-specific binding is a function of Free ligand, and this is not the same as the binding of labelled ligand at high concentrations of unlabelled ligand. LIGAND did a least-squares fit to this equation, without transforming to Scatchard plot co-ordinates, as these are poorly defined mathematically (due to the same datum (Bound ligand) appearing on both axes). You should set Deltagraph to do the same, I guess, assuming it can do non-linear least-squares fitting. Hope this helps Michael D.

The program is available through WWW: http://irisbioc.bio.unipr.it/pol3scan.html The algorithm is based on the statistical analysis of a database of 231 tRNA promoter regions and makes use of weight matrices and weight vectors for scoring. The program discriminates between tRNA genes and related class III elements (e.g. tDNA-derived SINEs) on the basis of the presence of a transcriptional terminator signal and of the base-pairing within the aminoacyl stem. The accuracy of the prediction was estimated by scanning the eukaryotic nuclear sequences present in the rel. 33 of the EMBL database (65180 entries). The program correctly identified 932 of 940 known tRNA genes (0.85% of false negatives) with a false positive rate of 0.0018%.

I'm hoping that there are standard collections software packages that might meet his needs but haven't had any luck in identifying them. The little research that I've done has resulted in limited success. I have found the ASC book, "ASC Guidelines For Institutional Databases," Association of Systematics Collections. Unfortunately there is no listing of available software (preferably for MacIntosh). My herp background is limited but I would imagine that there are specific things that one would consider for the building of a proper collection database. And I imagine that most database software would probably handle these concerns with ease. I do wonder, however, how one would store for analysis DNA information (used to help compare relations of snakes collected in different locations) which is usually done by comparing photographs. Please send me any and all clues that you might have as to suppliers of biosoftware used for maintaining collection information or perhaps any names (email addresses) of folks familiar with the topic.

In the series of courses offered at the Pasteur Institute, a course will be offered in informatics in biology. The next session will take place from January to March 1996. The course description is attached. Registration is mandatory via the committee of courses. Call the secretary of Information and Education of the Pasteur Institute at 45 68 81 40 or via E-mail at algo@pasteur.fr ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Course Description Informatics in biology The objective of this course is to give to the researchers and future researchers in biology, an initial exposure to informatics. Entry in the course is reserved to those with a degree in biology or an equivalent discipline. With more and more tools available to the biologist, it has become important that the biologist acquire the ability to judge for themselves the usefulness of a new software by the algorithms it employs. The accent is put on the fundamental aspect of this discipline. Two applications in biology will be studied, the analysis of sequences and molecular modeling. The theoretic aspects of informatics will be introduced: programming languages, programing, logic, and also in the technical domain of the system, the network, and computer architecture. Programming is taught according to the functional paradigm (Scheme), but other styles of programming, such as algorithmic and object oriented, will be introduced. The goal of an excellent level of theory will not hurt the acquisition of practical knowledge which will be directly usable in the labratory. The course will consist of lectures and practical sessions.

We have no reports of it being seen anywhere in the DOE. According to PKWARE, the only released versions of PKZIP are: 1.10, 1.93, 2.04c, 2.04e and 2.04g. All other versions currently circulating on BBS's are hacks or fakes. The current version of PKZIP and PKUNZIP is 2.04g. The current version of PKZIP is available in the CIAC Archive, or directly from PKWARE. - From CIAC: ftp://ciac.llnl.gov/pub/ciac/util/pc/pkz204g.exe BBS: 510-423-4753, 510-423-3331 - From PKWARE: ftp://pkware.com/pub/pkware/pkz204g.exe BBS: 414-354-8670 From owner-software@net.bio.net Wed Sep 06 23:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!bcm.tmc.edu!news.msfc.nasa.gov!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.sprintlink.net!nntp.bnl.gov!ping From: ping@bnlux1.bnl.gov (Shiping Zhang) Newsgroups: bionet.software Subject: lynx recognizing LOAD available Date: 7 Sep 1995 03:20:03 GMT Organization: Brookhaven National Laboratory Lines: 18 Message-ID: <42lod3$fci@sun20.ccd.bnl.gov> Reply-To: ping@genome1.bio.bnl.gov NNTP-Posting-Host: bnlux1.bnl.gov A user who didn't give his e-mail address suggested to put the modified lynx on the net for people who are interested to fetch. I have packed it into a compressed tar file called lynx2-3-7b.tar.Z. It's available in ftp://genome1.bio.bnl.gov/pub. It's also available from a link in "sequence input method" of http://genome1.bio.bnl.gov/bbq.html. Just FYI, in April, those who are maintaining lynx had been notified the changes and supplied a patch file and requested to incorporate the changes in the future release (but I didn't get any answer). I also proposed to Mosaic people to add the feature long time ago, but didn't get response either (if they were willing to maintain it, I could add the feature, on my spare time :-)). What puzzles me is that such feature is so useful and so easy to add, but those popular web browsers all lack it, so far. -ping P.S. Those who don't understand what I'm talking about can pay a visit at http://genome1.bio.bnl.gov/bbq.html and read "sequence input method".

Another company called BMDP Statistical software at 303-207-8800 also has a few very good sounding dos and windows packages which come with academic pricing schedules. They are in Los Angeles. Further, a company called Cricket used to produce a very useable package called Cricket Graph, though this was a Mac. app., there might be a windows version ( isn't there always ? ).

This version replaces fasta20x3 and a version of fasta20u3 uploaded yesterday. (Earlier versions had a problem with ssearch saving results.) This version of FASTA compiles in the Unix, DOS/BorlandC4.51, and Mac/MetrowerksC environments without any changes to the source code. (DOS and Mac versions are available in the fasta/dos and fasta/mac subdirectories, respectively.) It is my hope that future versions and bug fixes for FASTA will be available on all three platforms - unix, DOS, and Mac - essentially simultaneously. The DOS version includes 32-bit versions of the programs for Win95/WinNT, while the Mac version includes separate 68K and PPC-native versions for the library searching programs.

There I am responsible of the informatics project of the Belgian Coordinated Collections of Microorganisms (BCCM). For this project, a centralised database, which will contain a lot of informations on different types of microorganisms (plasmid, bacteria, yeast, fungi), has to be developed. A WWW access to this database will be created. Before to realize the project, I have to choose the database management= system. To avoid a wrong decision, I try to obtain the maximum of informations I can on the use of database management system in the biologist environment. The kind of informations, I am looking for, are: * Database structure: which software and platform ? * Why these choices ? * Which memory size has the database ? * What kind of interface to give access through internet ? * How much time (man months) to set up a database ? * How much time (man months) to write the WWW interface ? I will be very happy if you can help me. In advance, thank you for your cooperation.

If you have not yet listed yourself in our BIOSCI user directory, please take a few minutes to complete and return the form below. If your personal information has changed since you listed yourself, please send us a complete new updated form. We can not make manual revisions to existing entries. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIOSCI/bionet Manager biosci-help@net.bio.net **** How to cancel a BIOSCI e-mail subscription **** If you want to cancel your e-mail subscription to this group, PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR UNSUBSCRIBE REQUEST TO THE NEWSGROUP ADDRESS (NOR REPLY TO A MESSAGE POSTED TO THE NEWSGROUP)!!! This would send your request to all of the readers of the newsgroup, but it might still not be seen by the BIOSCI staff - thus you would annoy many people and possibly not accomplish your goal anyway. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE AMERICAS OR PACIFIC RIM COUNTRIES, please send a message to biosci@net.bio.net Instructions on how to subscribe/unsubscribe will be returned automatically, so the contents of your message do not matter. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, AFRICA OR CENTRAL ASIA, please send a message to MXT@dl.ac.uk containing the word help in the body of the message to retrieve e-mail server instructions. Any text placed on the Subject: line of your message will be ignored, so be sure to put the "help" command in the body of the message. If you need personal assistance, a BIOSCI staff member can be contacted at either of the following addresses. Please contact the address designated for your location. Support Address Location --------------- -------- biosci@daresbury.ac.uk Europe, Africa, and Central Asia biosci-help@net.bio.net Americas and the Pacific Rim **** SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES **** The easiest way to search the BIOSCI archives is to use Mosaic or another World Wide Web browser and connect to the BIOSCI WWW home page at URL http://www.bio.net/. Select the hypertext link to the BIOSCI archives. This gives you read access to all newsgroup messages and the ability to search the indexes described below. You can also use gopher software and connect over the Internet to net.bio.net, the U.S. BIOSCI computer. We maintain three indexes which are searchable from the main gopher menu on net.bio.net: (1) an index of all BIOSCI postings; (2) an index of individual journal article references from the Table of Contents postings on the BIO-JOURNALS newsgroup; and (3) an index of BIOSCI users including regular mail and e-mail addresses, phone/FAX numbers, research interests, and newsgroup participation. E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using our waismail e-mail server. For instructions send the message help to waismail@net.bio.net. Leave the Subject: line blank (anything entered on the Subject: line is ignored). WAIS software can also be used to search the archives as described in the BIOSCI FAQ (see below). Finally, the BIOSCI archive files are accessible by anonymous FTP to net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in the directory pub/BIOSCI. **** BIOSCI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) SHEET **** New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for BIOSCI. The FAQ provides details on how to participate in these forums and fix problems that you might encounter in using the newsgroups. The FAQ and other BIOSCI documentation is available through our WWW home page at URL http://www.bio.net/. It is also available for anonymous FTP from net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub/BIOSCI/doc/biosci.FAQ or for retrieval by gopher to net.bio.net, port 70. It may also be requested by sending the command info faq in the body of an e-mail message to the Internet address biosci-server@net.bio.net. Please do not enter the info faq command on the Subject: line of your message since the e-mail server ignores text on the Subject: line. The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month to the newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the posting of the BIOSCI information sheet. **** BIOSCI USER ADDRESS DIRECTORY **** Please take this opportunity to add your name and address information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. Below is the address form that we would like each reader of the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups to complete and return if you would like to be listed in our database. The database serves as a directory that enables biologists, who are currently using (or even just reading) the BIOSCI newsgroups, to look up e-mail addresses and other information about our users. The address database is reindexed nightly for WAIS, waismail, gopher, and WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net). If you have access to gopher, connect to net.bio.net to search the database. If you have access to WAIS, please use our WAIS source biologists-addresses.src. If you are not on the Internet, please use our waismail server (send the word "help" to waismail@net.bio.net to get instructions; any text on the Subject: line of your message will be ignored, so put the help command in the body of the mail message.). Please carefully follow the instructions for completing the form below and return it to either of the following two addresses (whichever is more convenient for you). Thanks in advance for taking the time to complete and return the form. Addresses for returning forms Location Network ----------------------------- -------- ------- biovote@net.bio.net U.S.A.

I picked up the following Windows program a while ago, problem is I can't remember which site it was on. Try an Archie search for DIGI138.zip. regards Duncan DIGITIZE 1.38 ------------- Description ----------- This program does the reverse job of a plotting program (Un-Graphing), it can import a scanned X,Y plot and digitize it to end up with a text file containing the X,Y points. This program is distributed as an evaluation shareware version, if you use it for more than 30 days you should register, otherwise remove the program form your computer. A registered user will receive a user code that will make the program fully functional, and will also work with newer versions when they become available. Program Features and Capabilities --------------------------------- New after version 1.35 ---------------------- * Add Sort to data menu. * Add Colors to the Options menu. * Fix minor bugs. Other ----- * Load bitmap pictures from a file (BMP,PCX) or paste from the clipboard. * Define plot axis for any type of plot (linear, Semilog in X or Y, and log-log) * Digitize manually or automatically. * ZOOM window (with variable magnification) lets you see every pixel. * Display the ERROR of the digitized points. * AUTO TRACER can digitize the curve with high accuracy: * Two Auto Trace algorithms and a SCAN mode help Digitize various type of plots. * SCAN Mode to digitize any type of plot/picture. * The auto tracer can digitize multiple INTERSECTING curves with the help of simple BLOCKERS with adjustable size. * BLOCKERS are saved and updated automatically when you scroll the image (only in scroll mode). * ERASER to clean the picture. * View and digitize the image in the scanned resolution, or stretch or reduce the image to fit your window space. * SAMPLE option allows to resample the digitized points with different X spacing. * Save the digitized points to a file or copy to the clipboard. * Supports several text formats for the output. * Define a header in the output file. * Detailed on line help. * TOOLBAR with most useful functions helps working faster and easier. * Save your setting configuration to DIGITIZE.INI Limitation of the shareware version ----------------------------------- The program is fully functional except the following: * Only 10 digitized points are allowed. * The Copy X,Y function is disabled. Installation ------------ This program is written in Visual Basic v2.0 which requires the VBRUN200.DLL to be placed in you windows directory. the VBRUN200.DLL is available in many BBS sites and in ftp.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.20.84) in the directory /pub/pc/win3/util. (it might be still in the upload directory when you read this) 1. Make sure VBRUN200.DLL is in your /windows directory. 2. Create a directory and copy all files to that directory. 3. You can now use the file manager to drag and drop the program icon into a group in the program manager. 4. Select the program icon (in the program manager) by clicking on it once, select PROPERTIES from the FILE menu and make sure that the WORKING DIRECTORY points to the directory where you installed DIGITIZE. ** NOTE ** users of version 1.15 and higher, it is recommended that you delete your old DIGITIZE.INI before you start the new version otherwise it will contain unused settings. The programs Digitize and WinFit are distributed as shareware. The cost (including shipping and handling) is the registration fee. A registered user will receive a user code that will register the software, This user code will work with all future shareware version of Digitize or WinFit. As a registred user you will also receive a copy of the latest version (at the registration time ) on a disk. Send payment to: Yaron Danon 14 Beman Lane Troy, NY 12180 USA For more information email to danony@rpi.edu Check the appropriate box: Digitize: Single Copy: US $35 ___ WinFit: Single Copy: US $15 ___ Total $ ___ Note: Prices are good in 1993 and include shipping and handling. Payment should be in US dollars by check or money order drawn in a US bank.

DigiMatic and UN-Scan-It work well with simple graph or 1-bit images. .PCX-to-XY works under windows with PCX images which can be easily obtained from your tif files. The best (and most expensive) is R2V which efficiently delivers xy coordinates of complex color or gray scale tif images. (Educational price is $960). All four will provide demos.
