Downloads can also be made from the following sites (thanks to Don Gilbert and the IUBio archive and collaborators in France, Finland and Sweden, and Jinchu Luo in China). These automatically mirror the MRC-LMB site, but they may take a day or two to update.

As of 25th February 2002 all files in the FTP area are also available by HTTP. The links below are followed by 'ftp http' text indicating the available download protocols. This change has been brought about due to problems with our firewall.

For many files in our FTP area you will need the GNU gzip and the Unix tar programs. These are standard on most Unix systems. On Windows the winzip program can perform these tasks.

We have noticed that many downloads are failing to complete, especially with some of the graphical FTP clients. If you have problems downloading please try using a simple command line ftp client such as "ftp" (which exists on both Unix and Windows platforms). An example session follows: 

C:\downloads> ftp ftp.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk

Staden Package, official release - 2002.0 ftp http
These are the binaries for the operating systems we support. A licence file has now been included with the package such so that the package will run on any machine.

Each of the tar files also contains manuals, online help and demonstration data. Note that the MacOS X version is based on the X11 interface rather than Aqua, and so it needs an appropriate Xfree86 installation to work.

Staden Package, beta release - 2003.0b1 ftp http
These are the binaries for the operating systems we support. Licence checking has been removed from this beta release so you do not need to obtain a licence.txt file.

Each of the tar files also contains manuals, online help and demonstration data. Note that the MacOS X version is based on the X11 interface rather than Aqua, and so it needs an appropriate Xfree86 installation to work.

Documentation ftp http
Full documentation is included within the package distribution as both PDF and HTML format. The User Manual is around 500 A4 pages long but the Mini Manual is around 45 pages and gives an introduction to the main programs in the package. The following documents are available for download. These can also be found within these web pages.

Io_lib ftp http
Io_lib is a programming library for reading and writing chromatogram files. It includes support for reading ABI, ALF, SCF, CTF and ZTR files and support for writing SCF, CTF and ZTR files. In addition it also contains the Experiment File reading and writing code. Whilst not strictly a chromatogram format it contains references to files that do contain this data and hence provides a uniform programming interface. Source only is supplied, although it has been tested on many Unix systems and on Windows 95/NT.
