Locians, The first piece of Loci code is on the CVS server! I made a module called "loci_gui", which contains a simple (very simple; no kill signal handler yet) GTK program with a layout similar to that of gnome-control-center. There is a Linux/x86 executable in there too. If you have GLADE (a very nice RAD-IDE), you can load the interface with the loci_gui.xml file. I plan to replace "drawingarea" with gtkglarea, which is an OpenGL canvas for GTK. If you are new to CVS, here are some instructions: 0. You will need an account on theopenlab 1. If you don't have CVS, go get it. 2. Set the environment variable. For bash, use $ export CVSROOT=':pserver:yourname at bioinformatics.org:/home/cvs' For csh, use $ setenv CVSROOT ':pserver:yourname at bioinformatics.org:/home/cvs' 3. Login. $ cvs login 4. Checkout the module. $ cvs checkout loci_gui This will create a directory called ./loci_gui with everything in it. If you want a tarball, e-mail me. Enjoy. Jeff -- J.W.
