- There are lots of general use PC programs on the net and quite a few
- for biology. For help finding and retrieving such software point your
- gopher at merlot.welch.jhu.edu and go to the
-
- --> 14. Search and Retrieve Software/
-
- directory. What follows is a description of the contents of this directory
- and its subdirectories found in the "About These Searches" file.
-
- Happy hunting,
