Subject: MacPattern v3.5

Included is version 3.5 of MacPattern, a popular program for analyzing
molecular biological sequence data for sequence family motifs. It works with
the PROSITE and BLOCKS databases as well as with private motif collections.

Changes in version 3.5:
o       Fat binary, i.e., it runs on PowerMacs and 68K Macs in native mode.
o       BLOCKS rel 8.0 introduced a new pseudo-count scoring method which is
        now supported by MacPattern.
o       New Go To option to go from a hit directly to the corresponding
        database entry.
o       Miscellaneous changes.

=============

This is the latest version of MacPattern (v3.2) written by R. Fuchs
(EMBL Data Library).

MacPattern assists in finding putative functions for new protein
sequences by supporting pattern searches using the PROSITE database, block
searches using the BLOCKS database, and statistical analyses (maximal
segment score analysis and Eguchi-Seto method). 

MacPattern runs on any Macintosh with at least 750 kb of free RAM and
System version 6.0.5 or greater.
