LICOR QUESTIONS

    Subject:  LICOR QUESTIONS

I have just started a new job sequencing on a Licor instrument. My 
previous
experience is with ABI instruments. Needless to say I'm running into some
tight spots. First off, the PC connected to the licor is the only one in 
the
building. Everyone else is using macs. They would like to be able to view 
the
SCF files on the macs. Anything out there for that purpose? I've got 
seqpup
but when I try to download the trace file it gives me gibberish. Plus I 
have
the sneaking suspicion that if I do get it to load right it's just going 
to
give me text. Does this program actually let you look at and edit in the
chromatogram? I've also tried to get a copy of SCFExample. The address 
can't
be found according to the times I tried to hook via netscape. Has it 
moved?
Are there any other programs out there other than sequencher and are
relatively cheaper? Is there anyone out there that uses the licor that
wouldn't mind having discussions about it's different aspects? Any and all
help is appreciated.
