Release 3 of Artemis is available for Unix, Macintosh and Windows:
(Note for Windows users: please ensure that after downloading this file is
called "artemis.jar" with no other hidden extensions. Netscape Navigator
users on Windows should shift-click on the link above to avoid getting an
obscure error message from their web browser.)
The compiled versions are ready to run, assuming you have the appropriate
version of Java installed.
Full installation instructions for UNIX and Windows are in the
release 3 user manual. Further
information on installation or other matters relating to the program
can be obtained from Kim Rutherford

Extra menu items:
-
"Deactivate All Entries"

The method for calling external programs on UNIX has changed slightly. Anyone
with customized copies of run_fasta, run_blastp or the other scripts will need

"Add Bases At Selection" and "Delete Selected Bases" have returned and now
work well.

-
"Add Bases At Selection" and "Delete Selected Bases" in the Edit menu have

next release
