Hi, 1) If you just start with emboss on windows, why don't you try the latest version 4.0.0 ? You can find it in ftp://emboss.open-bio.org/pub/EMBOSS/windows/.
2) Unfortunately this won't help much, because there seems to be a problem with emma also in the new windows version. emma is not a full application, but only an interface to the multiple alignment program clustalW. The current windows version of EMBOSS contains an clustalw executable, but this doesn't work. (Error message I get: "The system cannot execute the specified program"). I replaced it with the XP executable from ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/dos/clustalw/ but now I'm getting a different problem. The clustalw used directly runs without problem. But if called from emma it complains: CLUSTAL W (1.83) Multiple Sequence Alignments Error: unknown option /-infile=00002432A Error: Failed to open filename '00002432B' Problem writing out EMBOSS alignment file clustalw needs just /infile= and not /-infile= So I guess Alan can resolve what's going on here ;-) Ciao, David. Btw. I could not reproduce the Path overwriting on any generic XP (Pro or Home) so it has something to do with our local XP installtion but I could not find the reason so far.
