The contents page of the latest issue of BINARY was just given in
bionet.journals.contents and it contained the following article:
AU Rouch-D-A. Brown-N-L. Bleasby-A-J.
TI A Comparison of Seven Protein Database
Search Programs
SO Binary-Comput-Micro. 1994 Feb. 6(1). P 17-18.
As the authors are collegues I know that this includes both BLAST and FASTA
in the comparison, along with most of the other common search programs.
You can contact Duncan Rouch on E-mail as D.A.Rouch at bham.ac.uk
I should also note that BINARY is available online through gopher at:
