Exons:
Relevant bits of information for using the MUSC Shared Resource, 
the  BioMolecular Computing Resource (BCR).

Exon_18_Filling Out a UNIX account form  to use the BCR

The "vanilla" flavor UNIX account gives you access to PINE (e-mail) 
and to the UNIX gopher.  The default optiion will ONLY allow you to 
use the computer called ATRIUM (atrium.musc.edu).

 In the event that you wish to use specific resources like the BCR you 
must indicate this on the UNIX account application form. By marking
 the Yes box for using additional resources plus either GCG or  
SYBYL  or both, you will then have access to the application server 
known as ERG (erg.musc.edu). You will ALSO have access to PINE 
(e-mail) and to the UNIX gopher.

I  recommend that BCR users indicate that they wish to use:

GCG  (sequence analysis eg search GenBank),

SYBYL  (molecular modeling),

Article Indexes  ( MedLine Plus Current contents searching and 
management).

The above arrangement ALSO gives the USER access to a UNIX 
Gopher Bookmark file with some pre-selected BCR usable 
bookmarks,  a UNIX MOSAIC Hotlist  with some pre-selected 
BCR usable sites, and you are preconfigured to run theUNIX  
Nework version of the NCBI program ENTREZ.

NOTE:  The SYBYL software, UNIX Mosaic, UNIX ENTREZ and the
 GCG GUI
are accessible ONLY to personal computers with x-server software 
(I know of NO  FREE x-server software- there may be some site 
licenses negotiated in next FY) installed (see Exon_1 for software
recommendations). GCG may be run FROM THE COMMAND LINE 
and the Article Indexes may be run from any telnet software.
