Management and analysis of nucleotide and protein sequence and structure data constitute a traditional area of bioinformatics. Since the analytical programs are frequently developed by researchers, rather than software engineers, they tend to suffer from idiosyncratic and non-ergonomic man-machine interfaces. We report on HUSAR, our 140+ collection of third-party, as well as in-house developed or adapted, sequence manipulation and analysis tools, well integrated into the UNIX operating system environment and accessible via consistent menu-aware interface. Most of the HUSAR programs can be completely specified by UNIX command-line options; they can thus be run in batches or combined into pipes. Adding such a program into the HUSAR environment is almost a 'plug-and-play' exercise. HUSAR has been recently complemented with a graphical client interface, X-HUSAR, to support users on UNIX platforms with X11 windowing systems. The whole X-HUSAR interface is based on a single generic program, COMLIGEN, and a number of specific configuration files. COMLIGEN interprets those files and renders appropriate windows, menus, and other interactive elements, which help the end user in selecting application programs and specifying their options. Efforts of extending both HUSAR and X-HUSAR are roughly linear to the size of the collection.
