BIRCH: The user's View
- Programs are NOT run from browser;
everything runs on Unix desktop
- Everything runs from user's home
directory
- Everything works for everybody
- No configuration is done by the
user
- GDE - graphic interface by Steven
Smith. Rationale: the best programs
are sometimes the most difficult ones to use
- GDE - a program
that knows how to run other programs
- easy to add new programs to the
menus
- long-running programs can run in
the background
- many complex tasks are automated
as software pipelines
- easy to work with large numbers of
sequences
