Important notice: "GCG SOFTWARE SUPPORT WILL EXPIRE JUNE 2008"
On 1 July 2007, The GCG vendor, Accelrys, announced their plans to drop the GCG software package in June 2008. RCC has a perpetual license for the GCG suite of programs, so it will continue to function as is after the expiration date. There will be NO updates during the coming year. All users are encouraged to check out the EMBOSS suite of programs. These have much more functionality, and features, than the GCG programs, and the programs are compatible with GCG format files.
