I have made available both an a.out and an ELF version of ACEDB v4.2 for Linux on trog.mbb.sfu.ca in /pub/acedb (the normal location). I assume that the files will migrate over to the ncbi site shortly. These files are based on the February 14th release of the 4.2 code. For the C. elegans community I will be making available a mult-part archive containing all data releases up to and including 4-14 (same location). The readme's follow: Jeff jbryer@darwin.mbb.sfu.ca ------------- README.LINUX.4_2 February 26, 1996 This is the a.out binary version of ACEDB v4.2 for Linux and can be found at ftp://trog.mbb.sfu.ca/pub/acedb/bin.linux.4_2.tar.gz and soon at ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/repository/acedb/ace4/bin.linux.4_2.tar.gz If your Linux system cannot handle the a.out format, an ELF version is also available. ftp://trob.mbb.sfu.ca/pub/acedb/bin.linux.4_2.elf.tar.gz Linux is a free Unix-like OS available for the Intel [3456]86 platform. You can find out more about Linux in the comp.os.linux.* groups on usenet. Acedb runs very well on Linux, but you will need a fairly loaded system. I reccomend at _least_ 16MB of RAM and a 486/33. You will also want a large disk that can accomodate the database's growth. More RAM is much better than a faster processor. A 486/66 with 32MB RAM will blow the doors off a Pentium/100 with 8M. You should have 32MB of swap for updates. You should be running Linux 1.0 or better and either the a.out shared libraries (I am using libc 4.5.26) or the ELF libraries (I am using libc 5.0.9). Other versions should work, but are untested.
