-
-This is the first release of the fasta34t10 distribution for the
-Macintosh. In addition to the traditional "classic" applications that have
-been available in the past for Macintosh FASTA distributions, this release
-also includes "Carbon" versions of the FASTA programs. Carbon
-applications are designed to work under both MacOSX and under MacOS8.6 and
-later.
-
-This is the first "Carbon" implementation of the FASTA programs. In this
-first implementation, the Mac-like interface for selecting sequence files
-has been disabled, as the older file interface I used is not available
-under Carbon. This should be implemented in the future.
-
-Today, the main advantage of the Carbon implementation is its ability to
-run under MacOSX without needing the classic environment. However, the
-unix version of the FASTA programs compiles and runs fine under MacOSX,
-simply type:
-
- make -f Makefile.os_x all
-
-However, the Unix version of the FASTA programs expects sequence files and
-libraries to have lines that ends with a linefeed characther ('\n', \012),
-which is different from the traditional Mac return ('\r', \015) end-of-line
-character. If you work with Mac-like text files under MacOSX, try the "carbon"
-FASTA programs. If you work with Unix-like text files, use the Unix
-version.
