Health warning

The application code is primarily provided so that other people working in the field can see how how these applications are implemented, and adapt them to their own web environments. We do not provide a binary, as it is unlikely to run 'as is', even in quite similar environments, without some changes to the compiled C++ code.


Platform and Archictecture

This groups of programs currently runs under Windows 2000 and XP. The main CGI code is written in C++, but much of the data handling is written in SQL.

The code will not compile under Windows Vista because of dropping of support for DB-Lib in favour of ODBC. We hope to address this in the near future.

Other required components are Apache, Microsoft SQL Server, NCBI BLAST and DOS commands.

The code is available for viewing in a series of folders that roughly outline the architecture of the complete application(s). Click the following link to go to the parent folder: view code. You may find it useful to read the section on the application architecture and code layout first.
