We had a power problem during the night that led to a disk crash, so
genbank.bio.net is off-line until probably mid afternoon today, 22
July.  BIOSCI mail distribution and the GenBank e-mail servers will
all be affected.  Mail to the various genbank.bio.net addresses will
be queued, but we will not be able to answer your queries until after
the system comes back up.  I will also send a copy of this posting to
the Daresbury addresses to increase its chance of getting distributed
widely.

Distribution: bionet


As announced last week, we ran into problems with the new GOS BLAZE
DNA server.  They were due to two factors: (1) the effect of greater
than anticipated demand on the batch queue and (2) submission of
extremely long query sequences which delayed the processing of other
users' jobs.  We have unloaded the DNA databases from the MASPAR and
will only be processing BLAZE protein searches until more robust
queuing software is implemented.  An announcement will be made in this
forum when the DNA search service is available again.

If that's no confidential information, I would be interesetd to know 
(1) which queueing software you use and (2) what the length of that queues 
are that raise the problem. My queueing software started to be slow at 
about 180 entries in the queue, but never crashed, actually. Maybe you 
could disclose your numbers as I'm eager to optimize my system also. 
(I am using NQS in the SGI implementation).

The demand for access to the BLAZE queue has been very high and has
uncovered problems in the queuing software.  We are working on fixing
these but would appreciate it if people would limit their submissions
to one job at a time while this gets patched.  We will post a note in
this forum when the problems are resolved.  Currently some jobs are
simply being lost.

If you uncover any other problems, please report them to
blaze-request@genbank.bio.net which is the address for bug reports.
It would also be helpful if you include a copy of your input mail
message along with your bug report because this enables us to
determine whether or not correct syntax was followed in the original
mail message to the server.

If you want to retrieve the BLAZE help file, please send your message
to 

blaze@genbank.bio.net

and NOT to the blaze-request address.  The blaze-request address is
read by a person, not by the server, so you won't get an automatic
response and will take up someone's time in manually e-mailing the
file to you.  Please leave the Subject: line blank and insert the word
"help" in the body of the mail message.

Subject: Protein Data Bank Files?
Organization: Blob Shop Programmers
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 1992 18:56:52 GMT

I'm working on an application where molecular interactions are
mathematically modeled and the atomic orientations are captured as PDB
files and output at various stages in the interactions.  These files are
then to be rendered to bitmaps and output to video tape using a Video
Toaster.

We have a simplistic renderer for the PDB files, but I'm curious as to
whether or not there exists a renderer (a ray tracer or the like) that can
read PDB files, or if there exist conversion programs to get these files
into something that a renderer can read.  Source code that is compilable on
or portable to Unix (SGI) systems would be preferable.

We have the same problem with MSF files from Polygen's Quanta.

Thanks for any information,

XQS was the "in-house" name of the PIR eXperimental Query System, that has
now been released as ATLAS for VAX/VMS and PC/MS-DOS systems.  A UNIX port
is "in development".  Both versions of the ATLAS program were published on
CD-ROM with release 33.0 of the PIR at the Protein Society meeting in San Diego
earlier this week.

We will be making a more complete announcement of PIR news, including the
ATLAS program, availability of the PIR CD-ROM and changes to the PIR Network
Server, on BIONEWS (bionet.general) and PROTEINS (bionet.molbio.proteins)
on Monday, 3 August.

	You're welcome to check out the Raster3d package via anonymous
ftp from stanzi.bchem.washington.edu (128.95.12.38).  The base code should
be portable to any machine; it takes PDB files as input and creates
ray-traced spheres, cylinders, ribbons, etc to generic raster output.
There are some nice auxilliary programs specifically for SGI machines which
are at least semi-interactive.
