This disc contains 2,500 different software programs. If you are thinking about simply listing the names of these programs on your printer, make sure you have plenty of paper -- the listing alone goes on for over 40 pages. There is something for just about anyone who uses an IBM or compatible personal computer and is interested in exploring available shareware and freeware programs.Software in a wide range of application and utility areas is packaged on this disc, including: line and text editing, data communications, personal and business finance, hard disk utilities, graphics, device drivers, educational programs, word processors, macros, spreadsheet templates, databases, accounting and bookkeeping, source code, games (we lost count of the number of spacewar-type games), and miscellaneous programming utilities.Instead of investing hundreds of dollars in a mainstream software package, it often makes more sense to see what software is available in the public domain. No more long-term logons to bulletin boards, no more collections of floppy disk software, no more hard disks cluttered with miscellaneous programs. The low price of this disc means that you can try out these programs for less than a nickel each!

CD-Gene is a genetic sequencing database that allows easy and quick access to current versions of three leading DNA and amino acid sequence databases. The disc also includes software that allows efficient searches, retrieval and use of database information.
The databases included on this disc are: GenBank, compiled by the National Institute of Health; EMBL, compiled by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory; and Protein Identification Resource, compiled by the National Biomedical Research Foundation.
CD-Gene employs Dr. Lipman's and D. Pearson's high-speed similarity search algorithm using FASTP and FASTN. Sequence information can be accessed by author names, key words, short and long directory phrases, entry or sequence name, and accession number. Divisions of sequences --such as primate, viral, or plant -- can also be specified. The sequence information on this disc can be saved as a standard ASCII file for editing, output, or further analysis on another system. You can easily perform similarity searches between the key sequence and database, and see the most similar region and the annotation of each sequence of interest.
In short, CD-Gene gives you easy access to these databases -- and easy searching. Since you can do searches on your desktop computer, you no longer have to pay for expensive on-line charges or telephone hookup hassles. And since the disc is updated twice a year, you have access to the latest versions of these databases.
