Last time I tried to get OSX to read my card, neither compiling and installing OpenSC nor try...

Re: Connection to server lost in the morning

BISSAP - copying multiple features between sequences

Hi all, I've been using BISSAP to prepare sequence listings instead of PatentIn, and I find it rather good, well, certainly an improvement on the latter once you get used to some of its quirks (like screen redrawing issues).

Best regards,
