but I am unsure it had any influence on the outcome.<br />

8. There is a general sense of relief and expectation for<br />

the release of the new version, which should be with us<br />

before the end of the year.<br />

Thank you so much again and good luck.<br />

DIYABC problems<br />

Dear all, I was very happily working with DIYABC,<br />

and, suddenly, it stopped responding. I’ve tried many<br />

times to start again, simplifying scenarios, shortening<br />

runs, using various numbers of cores. The same thing<br />

keeps happening: I prepare all the settings and progress<br />

smoothly until the final screenshot where I just need to<br />

press ’START’ to build the simulated data sets, and<br />

as soon as I click, it freezes. The task manager just<br />

tells me that the program is not responding. I am running<br />

v1.0.4.46beta on a WindowsXP platform - as suggested<br />

- and on exactly the very same PC on which the<br />

software has been running smoothly in the past two<br />

months. Does anyone have any idea of what might be<br />

happening?<br />

Thanks,<br />

Stefano.<br />

Hi all<br />

Drosophila isofemale lines<br />

I’m in the Jiggins lab in Cambridge and I am looking<br />

to try and get hold of 100 isofemale lines of Drosophila<br />

sechellia and Drosophila mauritiana, if anyone has any<br />

lines being currently maintained, for a study investigating<br />

the evolutionary genetics underlying difference<br />

in immune capability in these species.<br />

Any help you can give me would be hugely appreciated.<br />

Eligibility: - Applicants must be ESEB members<br />

(for becoming a member of ESEB, see http://www.eseb.org/).<br />

- Applications can be submitted by<br />

scientists at various stages of their professional career<br />

(e.g., Masters and PhD students, postdocs, and lecturers).<br />

- Scientists working in a country with high GDP<br />

are not eligible (for the list of excluded countries see<br />

below). - People who received an ESEB travel stipend<br />

in the last five years are not eligible. - Applicants must<br />
