Alex,

I just started converting the BCAppDemo, and have some questions for  
you. In the complement, etc methods, you use the following code:


- (IBAction)complement:(id)sender{
	NSString *replacement;
	NSTextStorage *ts = [sequenceTextView textStorage];
	
	if([ts length] == 0){
		NSBeep();
		return;
	}
	
	NSRange sel = [sequenceTextView selectedRange];
	if(sel.length > 0) {
		replacement = [[[ts attributedSubstringFromRange: sel] string] 
convertToComplement];
		[ts replaceCharactersInRange: sel withString: replacement];
		[sequenceTextView setSelectedRange: sel];
	}
	else {
		replacement = [[ts string]convertToComplement];
		[sequenceTextView setString: replacement];
	}
}


1. Why are you using textStorage and attributedstring, instead of  
just the string from the NSTextView?
2. If there is a selection, you seem to be just calculating the  
complement of that part, and leave the rest intact, is that correct?

When using the BCSequence, I will probably use code similar to:

BCSequence *original = [BCSequence initWithString: [sequenceTextView  
string]];
BCSequence *complement = [original complement];
[sequenceTextView setString: [complement sequenceString]];


However, I will wait for your comments about the selection range  
before I implement it.


cheers,
