Exon_51 Running Viseur to make 2D plots and track mutations at MUSC.

MUSC users with access to Xserver software on their PC/MACs may configure 
their MUSC network accounts to run Fabien Campagne's VISEUR program.
STANDARD telnet connections to teh BCR machines will not allow access
to VIsuer. You must use Xserver software such as MIx, MAC-X, eXceed or 
eXodus. 

Viseur reads sequence information (eg SwissProt FT lines) and feature 
tables to assign transmembrane regions within the sequence. The program 
will then produce a POSTSCRIPT output file which may be edited or printed.

Users will have to perfrom two tasks:

1) Copy the following file into a file called ".viseurrc" in the root level
of your homeroom directry

2)Modify your existing ".login" file by  adding the following line:

set path = ($path /usr/common/bcr/Viseur/usr/share/Viseur/Executables )

After adding the line to ".login"and creating ".viseurrc", Logout and 
login again. At that point typing "viseur" will launch the program.
The manual and a brief tutorial are  available within.
