In fact, I just called them a couple days ago.  They said
that they were only releasing it (as wordperfect does) to
people who report encountering a problem.  I started reading them the
column in Infoworld that listed what it fixed.  WHen I said
"I can certainly use an improved import filter for
Wordperfect", she perked right up and started filling out
the form.

The list has been very quiet.  It should probably send out
little ping messages every month or two saying "this list
still exists, anyone want to say anything?" -- I bet we get
a lot more conversations going.

You could try to get your hands (computer) on a copy of Word for
Word.  I haven't used it with Multimate, but it has worked well with
other conversions involving WordPerfect and MS Word.

I move documents between Word 4.0D on the Mac and Word For Windows 2 (WFW2)
on my PC at home all the time with no real problems at all. The only
changes that sometimes occur are based on different fonts in the two
versions of Word, but a quick change of font on one computer or the other
solves the problem. I haven't done much with transfering graphic images
between the two, so I can't comment on that. WFW2 will automatically
recognize a Mac document if you loaded the conversion program during setup
(or add it after initial setup). To save a WFW2 document in Mac format, go
to the "File" menu and click on "Save As". In the new dialog box that
appears, enter the file name WITHOUT using a 3 character extension. Then go
to the options box where it says "Word for Windows" document, click on the
arrow, and scroll through the options until you come to the choices "Word
for Macintosh 4.0" or "Word for Mactintosh 5.0". Click on your choice and
WFW2 adds the extension ".mcw" to the filename of the document. Click OK or
press return and conversion begins. The program then asks if you wish to
use custom bitmapping of fonts. After indicating your choice, the document
is rapidly converted.

Well, if Microsoft has published a new WordBASIC reference, that would be a
good place to start.  I've been told that in the Windows(3.1) SDK is
included a tutorial in using OLE.  Other than that, I can only suggest that
you call MS Sales/Support and ask if they have anything on it...

In case you haven't heard, MicroSoft has a new maintenance release for
Word for Windows.  The new version, 2.00b, fixes some bugs including
somethings related to communication with WordPerfect.  The release is
available through normal MicroSoft update channels.

(P.S.  I haven't seen anything from this group in months.  Am I out of

I have found the transition from Mac-Word to Win-Word and back to be almost
seamless, but then again, I have not attempted to do a lot with embedded
graphics.  If your Mac has one of the new auto-sensing drives that
automatically read DOS disks, you're in Heaven.

You can do all that. Beware, if it concerns you, you can not edit
mathematical text with WORD for DOS. Word for Windows can do that.

No need for any special utility.  Just configure a postscript printer to be

Dear Drs. Reboul, Manion, Bailey, and Beers:

Thank you very much for your information.  I am
very appreciated.

My job is to support computer analyses in our
institute and my research interest is to develop
new algorithms for sequence analyses.  One of my
works is the construction of a rule base for
predicting protein localization sites in cells
from unknown amino acid sequences, which, I hope,
will be appeared in Genomics.

I've not heard anything from GCG about changes to their scripts required
by the transfer of the Genbank database to NCBI.  This occurs today,
they are leaving things a bit fine aren't they?

The changes *as far as I can see* are probably only required in the
script 'get_gbnew' until the next release of the database when the new
'nlm' section of Genbank comes into use. 

Try the following changes to 'get_gbnew'. I don't promise anything though:

The VMS people should change their .com files accordingly, it should be
quite similar but I've no information on what their scripts look like. 
Perhaps someone could post?


There will almost certainly be problems with the size of the NCBI updates
file being different to that of the old updates file, so I'd be interested in
hearing from GCG on what to do about this.

Subject:      using findpatterns for just non-coding regions

        I have a user that would like to search for a 6 base pattern in the
non-coding regions only of entries in genembl:*. Does anyone know if this is
possible?
