<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">Dear All,
<br>
<br>
I am pleased to announce the release of GUSSI version 1.0.8d.<br>
<br>
For those of you who don't know what GUSSI is, it is a program that eases the plotting of data from SEDFIT and SEDPHAT analyses. You can go from analysis to publication-quality graph in just a few clicks. GUSSI also features utility functions that make your
AUC life a lot easier.<br>
<br>
For those of you who already use GUSSI, this release qualifies as a major update. To give you an idea of how much has been added since the last major release (1.0.5k, May 2013), the GUSSI manual has gained 50% more pages (and they are not all blank!). With
the GUSSI download are some pdf tutorials and a pdf presentation of all of the new features and improvements. They include:<br>
<br>
(1) Local parameter propagation.<br>
(2) Customizable text labels.<br>
(3) Legend label reordering.<br>
(4) Y offsets.<br>
(5) Residuals as markers instead of lines.<br>
(6) The SE Data Sorter.<br>
<br>
GUSSI may be downloaded as a .zip archive at <a href="http://biophysics.swmed.edu/MBR/software.html">
http://biophysics.swmed.edu/MBR/software.html</a>. Installation instructions are found in a README file that is included in the archive. Users who are upgrading from an older version are urged to rename the old executable, back it up to a safe place, and
then install the new executable (just in case there are backward compatibility issues (which there shouldn’t be)).</span></p>
