        We got the p/d program earlier this year via Email from
gene-server@bchs.uh.edu (SEND VMS PROSEARCH12.DCLSHAR).  It requires GAWK
(Free Software Foundation).  We got the VMS port of GAWK by FTP from
RML2.SRI.COM (128.18.22.20).  It also requires READSEQ (I think that's on
NETSERV@EMBL, but we got it from iubio.bio.indiana.edu 129.79.1.101.  Frankly
to my surprise, when we put all these assorted things together the program
worked perfectly.

        We recently installed GCG V7.  MOTIFS is VERY nice.
