As a matter of policy, could applications please produce output even if the result is negative. A negative result is still a result. An empty file confuses people as they think they have done something wrong. ..d --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Dr. David Martin Biotechnology Centre of Oslo * * Node Manager Gaustadalleen 21 * * The Norwegian EMBNet Node P.O. box 1125 Blindern * * tel +47 22 84 05 35 N-0317 Oslo * * fax +47 22 84 05 01 Norway * --------------------------------------------------------------------- From ableasby at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Thu Oct 26 05:09:43 2000 From: ableasby at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (ableasby at hgmp.mrc.ac.uk) Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 10:09:43 +0100 (BST) Subject: EMBOSS programming guide Message-ID: <200010260909.KAA00139@tin.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk> >From the next distribution a 35-page guide on how to program EMBOSS applications will be included. In the interim I've put this in ftp://ftp.uk.embnet.org/pub/EMBOSS/patchfiles/program.ps.gz Gary did the conversion to html which is on the website http://www.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk/Software/EMBOSS/Doc/Develop/program.html It includes useful code segments in which I've probably made the odd typo.
