the version of the 'srs' in gcg is 4.05 ...so it is pretty up to date

the gcg version supports only sequence databases ...prosite is not provided
for

i think it should be safe to add more sequence databanks to the gcg
installation...note that only databanks with gcg sequence format are
accepted! ...if you have another SRS installation on your site than the
safest is to keep that site but, of course, the indices from the gcg srs
installations can be used. The directory with the indices can be
specified for each databank: attribute "indexDir" of the #libenv record
in the file srsdb.sdl
