#6241 — Problems in Gusfield

Is there anyone here who can answer (by which I mean respond to) questions about Gusfield (Algorithms on Strings, Trees, and Sequences)?

I thought it would be best to see if anyone was available for that before launching into the point that confuses me.

Thanks,

Paul

It may well be that there are people here who have read and understood 
Gusfield. It is, however, perhaps more likely that there are more people 
here who can answer questions about algorithms, strings, and sequences 
than there are who can answer questions about "Algorithms, Strings, and 
Sequences"! ;-)

Best bet: ask the question. If it refers to a specific part of the book, 
however, don't assume that people have the book. Explain the problem as 
best you can, and see what happens.

In general, on Usenet I find it best to work on the principle that is 
employed every day by every cat on the planet: it never hurts to ask.

Thanks.  I don't get what you mean by "Sig line 4 vacant - apply within"  I therefore Googled the quote and (of course) only got repetitions of the same phrase.  Please can you let me know what this mystery phrase means?

Does not look like mystery at all. "Sig line 4 vacant" is written on 
fourth signature line so it likely describes that line itself. "Apply
within" is perhaps meant like "if you are interested to advertise here,
please apply within" ... enter the office, tell about that to Richard.

Mild joke, just like me now typing that following is left blank
intentionally:

At over £100 not many people will have that on their shelves, but the
published gives a table of contents I don't think there's much of the
algorithms part that would not be topical and likely to get some
response here.  The more detailed bioinformatics bits -- not so much.

Just remember to give enough context so people not living above a good
library will know what you are referring to.

Thanks.  I've solved the issue now.
