Abstract: MOTIVATION: The program ESPript (Easy Sequencing in PostScript) allows the rapid visualization, via PostScript output, of sequences aligned with popular programs such as CLUSTAL-W or GCG PILEUP It can read secondary structure files (such as that created by the program DSSP) to produce a synthesis of both sequence and structural information RESULTS: ESPript can be run via a command file or a friendly html-based user interface The program calculates an homology score by columns of residues and can sort this calculation by groups of sequences It offers a palette of markers to highlight important regions in the alignment ESPript can also paste information on residue conservation into coordinate files, for subsequent visualization with a graphics program AVAILABILITY: ESPript can be accessed on its Web site at http://wwwipbsfr/ESPript Sources and helpfiles can be downloaded via anonymous ftp from ftpipbsfr A tar file is held in the directory pub/ESPriptMOTIVATION: The program ESPript (Easy Sequencing in PostScript) allows the rapid visualization, via PostScript output, of sequences aligned with popular programs such as CLUSTAL-W or GCG PILEUP It can read secondary structure files (such as that created by the program DSSP) to produce a synthesis of both sequence and structural information RESULTS: ESPript can be run via a command file or a friendly html-based user interface The program calculates an homology score by columns of residues and can sort this calculation by groups of sequences It offers a palette of markers to highlight important regions in the alignment ESPript can also paste information on residue conservation into coordinate files, for subsequent visualization with a graphics program AVAILABILITY: ESPript can be accessed on its Web site at http://wwwipbsfr/ESPript Sources and helpfiles can be downloaded via anonymous ftp from ftpipbsfr A tar file is held in the directory pub/ESPript

Abstract: The X.500 Directory uses distinguished names as the primary keys to entries in the directory. Distinguished Names are encoded in ASN.1 in the X.500 Directory protocols. In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, a string representation of distinguished names is transferred. This specification defines the string format for representing names, which is designed to give a clean representation of commonly used distinguished names, while being able to represent any distinguished name.

Abstract: The protocol described in this document is designed to provide access to the X.500 Directory while not incurring the resource requirements of the Directory Access Protocol (DAP). This protocol is specifically targeted at simple management applications and browser applications that provide simple read/write interactive access to the X.500 Directory, and is intended to be a complement to the DAP itself.
