To cater for your own need,
you can choose to download one of the following four packages
-
MSP module only (msp.tar.gz)
This package contains the programs that identify all
Maximal Substring Pairs between two input sequences.
-
MSP module + MaxMin Clustering (msp_maxmin.tar.gz)
This package combines the MSP module and the MaxMin clustering program.
It also includes a utility to generate graphical representations of the clustering output.
To install the software, you can just follow the instructions below.
(Suppose you have downloaded the file msp.tar.gz)

- The data directory stores the data files of the experiments.
- The sample directory stores the sample input and output files.
- The source directory stores all the source codes and the scripts for the software.
