I've already picked some very useful suggestions and a few bug reports. 
The easy suggestions and bug fixes will be incorporated into a new release
very soon, but in the interim, I realized that the SGI binary was compiled
with the '-mips2' flag which allows optimization for the R4000/R4400
chipset (currently the main SGI chipset).  However I neglected that there
are still a large number of R3000-class machines out there and they can't
run that executable at all.  So I've recompiled it for those machines as
well- it's the 'r3K' version included in the SGI distribution, all
available at:

ftp://mamba.bio.uci.edu/pub/tacg

And let those packets go free!
Cheers
Harry
