Dear list, I'm happy to announce a new version of the Kaptain user interface for EMBOSS. EMBOSS.kaptain v.0.98 provides a simple and efficient GUI to use EMBOSS 5.0 and the embossified Phylip 3.6b on the desktop.
The GUI depends on Kaptain, a tool to build nice graphical user interfaces for command line applications like EMBOSS. Kaptain is a Qt3 application. Due to problems with it's configure script it got more and more difficult to install on recent systems. To address this, and to make Kaptain a little more future-proof I have ported it to the modern cMake build system and to Qt4. A patch and build instructions are in the EMBOSS.kaptn package. You can find the package, some screenshots, and additional information as usual here: http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~sgmd/download.html For Mac users Koen van der Drift provides a fink package at: http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/emboss-kaptain Qt4 is availible under various open source licenses for Windows as well. Thus with Kaptain on Qt4 it may be possible to build and use the Kaptain GUI on that OS as well.
