hth.c
v 1.0.1
24 April 1993
This simple program predicts whether a protein contains a helix-turn-
helix motif, using the method of:
Dodd, I. B., and J. B. Egan. 1990. Improved detection of helix-turn-
helix DNA-binding motifs in protein sequences. Nucleic Acids Res.
18:5019-5026.

How to compile this program:
This program is written in ANSI C using THINK C 5.0.4.
On our local UNIX system (running SunOS Release 4.1.1), it will
not compile using cc but will compile using either gcc or acc.
For example, to compile this program, you would type
acc -o hth hth.c <return>
This means, "start the acc (ANSI C Compiler) program, send
the output to a file called "hth", and take the input
from the file "hth.c".
When the program is compiled, you run it by typing "hth"
at the prompt.
tabs = 4
When using vi under UNIX, you can set the tabs to 4 by opening the
file, typing escape (to go into command mode), colon (":") to go
to the command line, and "set tabstop=4" (without the quotes).
Format of input protein sequence:
One protein sequence per file
Single-letter code in upper case and/or lower case
White space characters (space, tab, return, etc.) are ignored
The program will abort if an invalid character is found
