Windows viewer for ALF, ABI and Li-Cor traces

[Dr. Duncan Clark]

Hi Folks,

This was announced on bionet software last Friday.

>Chromas is a free Windows application which displays and prints
>chromatograms from Applied Biosystems automated sequencers. It allows
>editing, searching, reverse complementing and exporting of the
>sequence. You can download it from:

I badgered Conor into adding support for the .SCF format and as of
yesterday the latest version 1.1 will display Li-Cor, ALF and ABI traces
on a PC running either Win95 or Win3.1. I know it works on Li-Cor files
but I haven't an ALF file to test it on but it should be OK. The program
and associated .dll takes up a very small amount of disk space - about
250kb 

It will also print the traces in colour, just like bona-fide ones, on
non-postscript colour printers ie v.cheap colour inkjets.
