Beta versions of GPMAW represent intermediate stages of the development of the GPMAW program. As such they are not guaranteed to be stable (i.e. you may experience more errors to occur), but on the other hand they should represent improvements in previous versions, both with regard to more functionality and a minimization of errors. However, as new features are included in the program, this sometimes leads to incompatibility in other areas.
If you install a beta version of GPMAW we would like you to report all errors to php@bmb.sdu.dk - remember to include the beta version number reported in the title bar.
License: Beta versions of GPMAW are covered by the standard license. This also means that you must have an 'upgradeable' version (less than 18 month old) in order to make it function.
Installation of beta versions:
The beta versions are not supplied with an installation program, and you have to manually to install the program. This is done by replacing the file gpmaw3.exe in the \gpmaw\bin\ directory with the downloaded gpmaw3.exe file. Note: it is recommended that you make a backup of your old file before overwriting it with the new beta version.
The 'gpmaw' directory is usually located directly in the main C:\ directory, but may alternatively be located in C:\Program Files\.
!!Current beta version is 8.30alpha2!!
GPMAW beta version (gpmaw3.exe) - press to download file (posted 17.01.10). See above for installation.
GPMAW help file (gpmaw.chm) - press to download. Overwrite the corresponding file in the same \bin\ directory as the gpmaw3.exe.
Version info: The current beta is based on a new compiler with a different string memory architecture (to make certain of compatibility with future Windows versions). This has the unfortunate side effect that new bugs may occur, even though we have done our best to eradicate them. Please report back if you find errors.
The main improvements are: new editor for cystine cross-links, pretty cystine print, new Open file dialog, etc. Please check the on-line help (Recent updates) for more information.
Note: You need to upgrade to version 8.00 before applying this upgrade, otherwise the XTandem based searches will not work.
If there are items that either don't work, you would like to see improved or you think is just plain useless, you are welcome to contact Peter Højrup at Lighthouse data with you comment and suggestions.
