Abstract
The strategies for managing a server-based molecular biology software resource, accessed by a diverse user community has been discussed in the previous chapters. It assumes that the reader is familiar with basic UNIX commands and concepts. The approaches discussed here are implemented in the BIRCH system (see Website: http://www.home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~psgendb) but are generally applicable to any centralized multiuser software installation.
