An updated version of Bob Schleif's public domain MacIntosh DNA
software program MacDNA is now in the directory <pc-software.mac>.
 This is a small (65K), self-contained application that is fast and
efficient at many straightforward DNA analysis tasks such as
translations, charXGter stripping, restriction mapping, consensus
searching, inverting, formatting, etc.  Be aware that the program is
not Mac-like, i.e., no mouse or dialog boxes, but the current version
will run under Multifinder.  No direct printing facility is provided,
but text files are easily created that can be printed from any
wordprocessing program.  The current version has enhanced formatting
and editing, and does single letter translations, not included in the
original version.

The program is stored as a Binhexed file, MacDNA.Hqx.  The Stuffed
file contains the application as well as the file "NEB" containing an
up to date listing of the NE Biolabs catalog of restriction enzymes in
a format readable by MacDNA, and a file containing further
instructions on the use of the program.  The applications Binhex and
Unstuffit are required for downloading.  Both are available under
<pc-software.mac>.  General instructions on downloading are in the
file <pc-software.mac>Readme.

I find this program very useful, & hope it's of use to others.
