SHIFTY Version 1.4 Upgrade README file
--------------------------------------

Important
---------

If you have already downloaded SHIFTY Version 1.3, then you only need this
upgrade file to update the databases to Version 1.4.  If you have not
already downloaded SHIFTY Version 1.3, or if you have an older version,
then this upgrade is not enough, and you will need to download the entire
SHIFTY Version 1.4.

Purpose
-------

This upgrade patch contains three chemical shift databases, all of which are
upgraded versions of the old databases which SHIFTY uses.  The databases contain
all of the old chemical shift listings along with approx. 15 - 20 new proteins, 
which have been appended to all three.  Other updates have also been made, such
as changes to certain protein names and content.  These databases are meant to 
be a replacement for the ones currently being used by SHIFTY. 

Included Files and Directories
------------------------------
	
	README		- this file
	dsw.h.db	- the new hydrogen chemical shift database
	dsw.c.db	- the new carbon chemical shift database
	dsw.n.db	- the new nitrogen chemical shift database


Installation
------------

Simply replace the database files that your version of SHIFTY is using with the
files included in this patch (they should have the same names).  The old 
database files are no longer needed.
