We use the older (free) version 1.45 which allows you to view
chromatograms and export the sequence, but does not support
printing chromatograms. We run a core facility for many users,
almost none of whom have Macs and find that this programme is
really all they need to get a detailed look at their sequences and do
some basic editing. There is a newer version 1.55 which is
shareware (cost $75 Australian, approx. $50 U.S.) and is said to
support printing, although I have no experience of this.
