Subject: National Capital Freenet Meeting - Jan. 5, 7:00pm
Summary: next general meeting
Organization: Communications Research Centre, Ottawa, Canada
Date: Thu, 31 Dec 1992 16:59:49 GMT

The next General Meeting of the National Capital Freenet (NCF) will
take place Tuesday January 5, 1993.  Here are the details:

Date:  Tuesday January 5 1993 
Time:  7:00pm. 
Place: Auditorium
       Ottawa Public Library Main Branch
       120 Metcalfe St.
       Ottawa.  

Newcomers are welcome to attend and the meeting will begin with an
introduction to the Freenet concept, and a description of the current
status of the NCF.  We will provide a live demonstration of the pilot
system that now exists.  People who have heard the introduction and
seen "The Video" may wish to come at 7:30.

The major item of business will be planning for the Official Public
Opening, which is scheduled for February 1 at the Regional Headquarters
on Lisgar St.

We may also break-up into smaller discussion groups to talk about the
activities of various committees.  Currently, there are committees set
up for:

  Community Relations
  Ways and Means
  System Design and Research
  Hardware and Software

The FreeNet now has it's own phone lines.  Set your terminal parameters
to 7 bits, even parity and dial 780-FREE (780-3733).  If you do not
have an account, login as "guest".

The National Capital FreeNet is now registering "pilot" users.  Some
things still need to be fixed, and more information needs to be
installed before the formal opening in February 1993, but we are ready
to have more people test the system.  See the Administration Section on
the FreeNet for registration instructions.

PASSENGER(S) WANTED

I will be driving from Nashville to Chicago to meet a friend at O'Hare
airport on either the 23rd or very early (6am) on the 24th of
December. I'll be driving back to Nashville later in the day of the
24th, starting around 5pm.

If you are interested to join me on this quickie Chicago or just want
a ride to or from Chicago, please let me know. I'd like to have some
company since it'll be a lot of driving just on my own.

MERRY XMAS

and

A GREAT 1993!

New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked

To the Group,
A few days ago a member wrote to ask if any Mac software existed
that could perform 'silent mutagenesis' on a given sequence.
Perhaps someone responded directly to that member. Does such 
software exist?

Dear netters,

I am writing regarding the graphic functions of the spreadsheet AsEasyAs.
This program has been selected as one of the best in MSDOS sharewares.
However, I found it difficult to create simple graphs with numbers ranging
from positive to negative numbers, or numbers with decimals. Can anyone
enlighten me as to the ways of doing graphics in AsEasyAs? Or perhaps
the graphics functions are only available from the high-end products?

A few recommendations follow:

For GIF viewers on PCs:
1. VUIMG (the most stable program as a GIF viewer)
2. CSHOW (almost as good as VUIMG)
3. VPIC (good automatic slide shows, but the pictures are not as good as TGIF)
4. TGIF (the best viewer, but crashes on some big GIF files)

For GIF editors on PC:
1. TGIF (the best one)

PROFILEGRAPH is, as far as i understand (and i am supposed to do so), a program
that tries to help you with the analysis of protein sequences.
You certainly know hydrophobicity profiles or and hydrophobic moment plots.
The current version of PROGRAPH (2.3a) can do such plots and a lot of related
ones using various parameters and parameter combinations. It also includes
some auxiliary functions (helical wheel diagrams etc.). Most important,
PROGRAPH works completely in graphics mode and has a menu-driven shell,
assuming that you know what you are doing on the protein analysis side 
but not necessarily on the computer application side :-)

Whe unzipped, it comes with various configuration files (*.cfg) for monitors
with different resolutions. The one configuration file, used by default,
is called PROGRAPH.CFG and is (intentionally) missing in the .ZIP file.
it is created when first running the program (prograph.exe) if you choose
the menu-item "save preferences". If you want to run the program with one
of the prefabricated CFG-files type something like "PROGRAPH PG256.CFG"
when invoking the program. There is only one question that needs to be 
answered to start the program: The location of the BGI graphics drivers.
If you don't store them at a special place, use the directory that holds the
PROGRAPH files as an answer, the BGI drivers cam bundled with the program.

By the way, the main ZIP file PROGRAPH.ZIP contains 3 further ZIP files
PG_EXE.ZIP, PG_SRC.ZIP and PG_DOC.ZIP
in order to run the program, you need only PG_EXE.ZIP 
Forget about the other two, except you like to read the documentation :-)
The documentation (in ASCII, Winword and Postscript format) tells you most
other things you need to run the program.

If you have further question, don't hesitate to contact me, you find my adress
in the signature below.

P.S. Profilegraph 3.0 will be coming within the next months and it will
include some nice new features and bugs, but i wouldn't hold my breath..

A happy new year,
                  Kay

Subject: presentation graphics software

Distribution: bionet

I am thinking of buying a presention graphics software package.  I currently
use microsoft powerpoint for making slides for presentations.  It is nice
for poping text and data in and out of other microsoft applications, but
it is a bugger to output.  It requires a heavily beefed up laser print ot
get printouts, and I can't get it to give me files that can be read by
a laser film etching device.  Microsoft is no help, they just tell me to 
convince the organizers of scientific meetings to switch to on screen 
presentations instead of journals and slide presentations.
	I once saw Aldus persuasion demonstrated on a mac, but I've heard
that it's hard to learn on IBM and not as powerful.
	Some of the computer rags are touting Lotus freelance as a better
alternative.
	Many other people in my lab use an old version of slidewrite for
it's great power for making graphs of enzyme data, but have no idea if it
is any good for presentation graphics.  They never use that part of the
program.  I have heard that there is a new version out that works on 
windows and is a competitor with powerpoint and persuasion and still has
all the great data graphing and computational power that we find so useful.

	Has anyone used the latest version of Slidwrite, does it run in 
windows, is it any good, is it really a competitor with persuasion?
	Does anyone have any recomendations regarding this question?

	For the record, we are a biochemistry lab with modest needs for 
fancy presentation styles, but we all want to look good for job interviews.
Most of us prefer to work in IBM mode.  Those still using Macs still prefer 
to hand draw all slides and graphs, they are not exactly the computer concious
side of the lab.  The program I need must be for IBM type machine.
