26 August 1994

Some things have moved!

"Grains files to download" / "Wheat Variety Tests", and

"Grains files to download" / "Great Plains Winter Wheat Characteristics" are now located in the new top-level menu,

"Wheat performance evaluations", and the former's name has been changed from "Wheat Variety Tests" to "State Performance Tests".

"NABGMP Steptoe X Morex dataset" is now "Grains files to browse" / "Barley Steptoe x Morex NABGMP QTL dataset".

Our apologies to those users who were accustomed to the old menu structure and now must learn a new one; and also to those who were confused or inconvenienced by the old one, which was indeed confusing and inconvenient. There's still considerable room for improvement, and your suggestions are solicited. We're trying to maintain a balance between stability on the one hand, and adaptation to accommodate the new kinds of data being added on the other.
