READ ME. 1st SEDPROG: Programs for analysis of sedimentation equilibrium data through the use of the Omega function. Greg Ralston Department of Biochemistry, University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006 AUSTRALIA email: gregr@biochem.su.oz.au Version 1.0 - July 1994 The programs, a README.TXT file, and some data reside in a self-extracting archive called SEDPROG.EXE. After downloading this file, place it in an appropriate working directory. (You will need about 2 M of free space: the archive takes up over 500 K itself, and the unpacked files use over 1 M. It's not because the coding is particularly clever; rather it is not particularly efficient!). To extract the files, simply type the command SEDPROG. The individual program files (*.EXE) data files (*.RA?), graphics drivers (*.BGI) and documentation will be saved into the working directory. After extraction, you can remove the archive file (SEDPROG.EXE) and save it on a 1.4 M floppy as a backup. It is possible to extract the files from one directory into another; e.g. from one floppy to another. In this case, type SEDPROG C:\DIRNAME, where the "C:\DIRNAME" indicates an (optional) drive and directory. Note the space between the two parts of the command. The extracted files will then be placed in directory DIRNAME on drive C: (in the above case). The program OMMENU will drive all of the others. A fairly extensive manual is available in several flavours. Firstly, a full version with screen dumps and formatted text is available for MS-WORD on either Macintosh or MS-DOS in RTF format. When WORD loads this file it will reformat it. Secondly, a cut-down version without the pictures is available as MANUAL.TXT. This should be readable by any computer. I have tried to fix up all the exponents as "x^2", but I probably missed some. It won't be easy reading. This is version 1. It won't be perfect. Please report all bugs and problems, so that I can try to fix them.
