I'd just like to echo Peter's suggestions. His posting was just about the best
I've seen on the `utility' of WORDSEARCH. It's a very useful program in some
circumstances.
It is possibly one of the worst for `database searching'. Unless you know
your sequence is VERY well conserved do not use WORDSEARCH for this type
of operation.... FASTA/BLAST/DAP/etc are far better.
Perhaps I may be proactive and suggest that WORDSEARCH is removed from the
database scanning section of the GCG manual and appropriately documented in
fragment assembly/utilities.

PS: Wrt my previous postings: Michael Hogan at GCG answered them swiftly &
professionally. I'd just like to publically thank the GCG team for
providing a fast and effective information/bug-solving service.
