Darwin 2.0 Available
Reference Page: http://cbrg.inf.ethz.ch/darwin2.html
MOTIVATION

We announce the availability of the second release of Darwin v. 2.0 , an
interpreted computer language especially tailored to researchers in the
biosciences. The system is a general tool applicable to a wide range of
problems. 

RESULTS 

This second release improves Darwin version 1.6 in several ways: it now
contains 

1.    a larger set of libraries touching most of the classical problems from
computational biology (pair-wise alignment, all versus all alignments, tree
construction, multiple sequence alignment),
2.    an expanded set of general purpose algorithms (search algorithms for
discrete problems, matrix decomposition routines, complex/long integer
arithmetic operations),
3.    an improved language with a cleaner syntax,
4.    better on-line help, and
5.    a number of fixes to user-reported bugs.

AVAILABILITY 

Darwin is made available for most operating systems free of charge from the
CBRG. Just go to http://cbrg.inf.ethz.ch/subsection3_3_5.html
