The computer programs available at this
site are listed. Earlier programs are written in Borland
Pascal versions 5, 6, & 7. Later programs are written
in Borland DelphiŪ versions 1, 2, 5, 2005, and 2007. Source codes for
these programs are not available. Most packages are
supplied as self-extracting archives made from *.ZIP
files. The archive files were created by WinZip, a very useful
shareware utility.

DNA Master version 5.0.2 is a
32-bit program for Windows 7, Vista and XP;
it will not run on Windows 3.x or DOS machines and may not run on Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME or NT. DNA Master is a freeware
DNA sequence editor and analysis package. I only ask that users register the program and send interested parties
here to pick up a version. This program is quite powerful in what it can do, and as such does not limit itself in
taking up resources. A fast computer with 512 MB of memory (or more) is recommended; greater amounts of memory are required for some functions.
The installation of DNA Master requires setting up the Borland database driver subsystem. These files are also used in the Strain
Manager, Oligo manager, Chemical Manager, and Invoice Manager programs.
*** DNA Master was last upgraded 24 September 2007; this is a major revision and this program will now update itself.
This is also a code-breaking update of the original alpha-versions 5.0 and 5.0.1. The auto-update function will replace old versions
with a new version that will not be able to access
some functions correctly without the database update available in the fresh installation.
DNA Master users should uninstall their previous versions
before installing the new version of DNA Master; a new installation of the Borland database driver subsystem will be performed.
Slip-stream update: The current version of DNA Master is atleast 2249. If you have an earlier version, and it cannot update itself any longer,
that reflects a bug in the FTp subsystem. That bug has been repaired. You will need to downlaod this
slip-stream update and unzip it to your DNA master installation directory. After that, the program should be able to update itself once again.

it will not run on Windows 3.x or DOS machines and may not run on Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME or NT. Jack the Knife is a freeware
stand-alone program that uses several non-parametric tests (random bootstrapping, random jackknifing,
delete-one jackknifing, randomization) to calculate the significance of population-level parameters (broad- and
narrow-sense heritability, correlation coefficients) for mutiple nested experimental designs (clonal, half-sib)
within and among experimental data sets.
