SAGITTARIUS SEQANALREF Personal Reference DataBank ************************************************** SAGITTARIUS SEQANALR Personal Reference DataBank is a dialog shell for compression, storage and manipulation of reference database information with orientation on MS DOS/Windows PC-compartibles (at least 286 required) with installed hard disk optimizers (like Hyperdisk, Ncache, Smartdrive and others). This particular variant is oriented on SEQANALREF databases compiled by A.Bairoch. Dialog data shell includes following main possibilities: - selection of references to bank buffer by - dictionary-defined record for specified informational field (title, journal, author, keyword) - user-defined context in specified informational field (title, journal, author, keyword) - set of dictionary-defined records for main informational fields (author, keyword) - reference abstract (non)perfect match with user-defined short context - store and retrieve buffer content (reference numbers) between sessions - output user-specified (buffer) reference data to disk files Data bank files are filled out by current available database information only by distributors (2 to 4 times in a year). Distributive variant includes ready-for-use bank files and dialog shell executable (all in self-extracted archieve - seqanalr.exe file or in ZIP-compressed file seqanalr.zip). -------------------------------------------------------------- SAGITTARIUS SEQANALR Personal Reference DataBank is available by anonymous FTP from: - FTP.SCRI.FSU.EDU, directory /pub/genetics/seqanalref/ SAGITTARIUS SEQANALR Personal Reference DataBank is also available by anonymous FTP from the well-known bio-servers (IUBIO etc.). ------------------------------------------------------------- Installation ------------ All decompressed SAGITTARIUS databank files MUST be placed in the directory \SEQANALR on any logical drive.
