Dear All, I think one of the most important uses of the web-based effort would be to teach people how to do the same with their own lab set-up, i.e. the CGI or other programmes, etc. I had a Ph.D. student who was a school teacher (he is with us now). He could not come to the lab every day. The web-based approach would allow him to use his slow dial-up connection from his home to check the status of the run and vary parameters (temperature, closeness of data points, etc.) from time to time. This then becomes an enabling technology which opens up lab experimentation to people who are far away. Collaborators can also participate in such experiments from different locations. I request Ajith to make the code available on-line and to write a tutorial on this; I know he is very busy, but please .. Arani --------------------------------- Why delete messages?
