We are in the formative stages here at SIU thinking about simultaneously (1)
upgrading the spectrometer data systems, (2) putting in place a computer
facility for undergraduate access, and (3) enhancing organic chemistry and
biochemistry curriculum to have NMR and molecular modeling be a part.
I will appreciate any advice. The chemists seem to want the computer
facility to be PowerMacs and not Unix workstations. I am not sure of myself
here, but it seems we have options of either ftp-ing the data to the Macs
and processing it there with some non_varian product or using the Macs to
establish X-windows sessions on the spectrometer host computers and
processing there.
I meet with a group of faculty today at 4PM to start te ball rolling. Any
info you send in helping me to understand what's possible will be appreciated.
Bill
