      ShadyBox [Boxing and shading utility for X Windows for multiple 
                 sequence alignments]

   This utility uses as input files using the .msf (multiple sequence file)
format (output from GCG's 'pileup' and 'lineup' programmes or one of the
optional formats of 'CulustalV').  Alternatively a file created by GCG's
'pretty' programme can be used or the export text format from MACAW. 

	The programme allows you to generate a PostScript file in which you
can box and shade regions.  ShadyBox was developed under SunOS 4.1.3.  The
ANSI C source code should be reasonably easily adaptable to other platforms
using UNIX and having the Motif library available.  The compressed tar file
'ShadyBox.tar.Z' contains the source code, a tutorial on programme's use, a
demo file for use with the tutorial and a binary for Suns running SunOS 4.1.3
or 5.3.

  The software was developed by Camson Huynh of the Australian National
Genomic Information Service (ANGIS), chuynh@angis.su.oz.au to whom
suggestions and bug reports should be sent.
