before they can be used.
| Remember that Unix is case-sensitive and VMS is not. |
| RNA fold files created with MFOLD will need to be re-folded. |
| Fragment Assembly projects contain VMS-specific references, and must
be modified before they can be used. |
- init files:
(A) in the project directory, edit all of the init files, like gelenter.init, and change all "/" command line switches to "-",
(B) make certain that all VMS-style directory specifications in these init files are appropriately converted to UNIX-style directory (ie, in geloverlap.init, change references to /INFile1=GelData:[Consensus]*.* to instead read -INFile1=GelData:consensus/*.* )
**[Alternatively, you could simply delete the init files. They will automatically be recreated for you with little loss of information]**- relation files: edit all of the .fil files in the relation directory and make sure that
the file names are referenced in the correct case.
| list files which contain explicit path information for a sequence file will need to be edited. Also, if they reference a file in upper or mixed case, they will need to edit that to reflect the actual case of the transferred file name. |
If you consistently get a message about "unable to open" a list file or a sequence file, and you are sure that the file is in your directory with it's name spelled correctly, then you are probably experiencing this problem. Find the list file which makes reference to the sequence file or other list file, and correct the path information.
| You should be expect all other GCG files to work as-is - that is they should work as converted from VMS to Unix with no other changes. |
