To acquire a SEQSEE-compatible version of the PIR protein sequence

located in /pub/gene-server/pir/pir_relXX/ascii/pir[123].dat.Z

To acquire a SEQSEE-compatible version of the SWISS-PROT protein 
sequence database, users should ftp the database deposited at:

FOR THOSE WANTING SEQSEE SOURCE CODE:

In order to better control and document the distribution of the 
source code to SEQSEE we now require that interested parties send a 
written request to one of the following:
    E-mail:  seqsee@procyon.biochem.ualberta.ca
    Snail-mail:  SEQSEE c/o PENCE
                 7-13 HMRC
                 University of Alberta
                 Edmonton, AB
                 T6G 2S2
You will be sent a SEQSEE Software Utilization Agreement which must
be completed and signed and returned to the above address, or faxed
to (403) 492-1473.

In this way we believe we can best help those individuals interested in 
converting SEQSEE to other platforms, in making additions or 
modifications to the SEQSEE subroutines or in developing some
other aspect of SEQSEE.

Requests will be processed as soon as possible and the source code
will be sent out electronically.  Tapes containing the SEQSEE
source code can be also sent if they are provided by the requestor
or if a cheque for $60.00 (Canadian) is mailed to the address above.
