- There are one or two available at EMBL. The one I know of is called
- PLASMIDG.EXE. It comes uuencoded as PLASMIDG.UAA and PLASMIDG.UAB via
- e-mail. You will need EMBL's uudecode program to convert it. Instructions
- are as follows:
-
- 1. E-mail to NETSERV@EMBL-Heidelberg.DE
- -include the following commands in the body of the text (one command per
- line).
-
- GET DOS_SOFTWARE:UUEMBL.UUE
- GET DOS_SOFTWARE:PLASMIDG.UAA
- DIR DOS_SOFTWARE
-
- 2. Save the messages you receive as PLASMIDG.UAA and PLASMIDG.UAB. You might
- have to read them initially, in order to know which is (1/2) and which is
- (2/2).
-
- 3. Use a generic uudecoder to convert UUEMBL.UUE to UUEMBL.EXE -a
- self-extracting compression containing UUE.EXE and UUD.EXE. If you don't
- have or can't get a hold of a generic uudecoder read the DOS_SOFTWARE
- DIRECTORY message you will receive for instructions.
-
- 4. Type UUD PLASMIDG.UAA <Enter> to recombine the two files and convert them
- to a self-extracting executable. And your off!!!!! A .DOC file is included.
