To use, you need an existing Unix account on pegasus!

a. Login to gene.montclair.edu (hopefully via ssh/putty, not telnet/rlogin, which are insecure). Use your pegasus username and password.

b. Type:   source /opt/bio/gcg/gcgstartup

c. Type:    gcg

You are all set to run GCG text-mode commands.

e. In a gene.montclair.edu window type:   setenv DISPLAY monster.something.edu:0

f. Type:   seqlab &

A graphic window should open and you are all set to go.

3. SeqWeb HTTP Interface

To use a web-based interface to GCG, which is unrelated to Steps 1 and 2 above, do the following:

b. From you Workstation/PC/Macintosh run Netscape or Internet Explorer.
Important!   It has to be Netscape 4.77 or IE 5.5 (5.0 on Macintosh) or SeqWeb will not run !!!
