User’s Guide to combine.cc

The text file combine.cc is source code that can be compiled using the C++ 
compiler and executed in UNIX systems. The user would be asked to input the 
polypeptide to be predicted. The input should be a string of polypeptide sequence with 
less than 650 amino acids.  Each amino acid is represented by one character (if the user 
needs to predict the polypeptide longer than 650 amino acids, the value of INPEP can be 
changed to the desired length before the file is compiled). The input string should be 
ended by ‘*’. After the polypeptide sequence is input the user should hit “return”. The 
input is analyzed and the result displayed on the screen. This output can be redirected to a 
file, if desired.  Helix and sheet predictions are clearly indicated on the output.  Absence 
of a prediction signifies non-helix, non-sheet. To predict multiple polypeptides, the user 
must enter each polypeptide separately.
