Catalog for Pc/Mac scientific software ?

[BIOCHEMISTRY.COM]

I think that there are a few sites that have what Jean-Claude is looking 
for (EMBL has descriptions of the software it has in a file on its 
gopher/FTP server).

At some point (when I get my act together!) I will be doing exactly this 
at the site, biochem.com, which is a not-for-profit web site. If anyone 
has shareware/freeware software aimed at biochemistry they would like to 
deposit at this USA site, together with a description and comments, please 
email me (admin at biochem.com). (I really don't like badly crippled demo 
software because it seems to me worse than useless).

In fact, if anyone has any ideas or feels like getting involved, get in 
touch.  

Thanks!

Gregg

: If you are willing to consider commercial software (i.e. costs money)
: you might try the following catalogs:

: SciTech Software for Science

: 800-622-3345 phone
: 312-486-9191 phone

: The Biotehcnology Software Directory: A Buyer's Guide

:  on "home grown" (i.e. free/shareware) software)

: I have no connection with either of these companies other
: than as a customer.  Both of these catalogs have a wide variety
: of scientific software (biology, biochem, chem, math etc.)
: with descriptions of the software
: software from a number of different suppliers.

: I hope this helps.
