Right, that's why I hesitated to switch to SRS4_08 (the newest version).
Now I did it because of two reasons:
- SRS4_08 allows you to create the database indices separately which is useful
because of the rapidly increasing size of the nucleotide databases.
- There is SRSCURS by Gijs Schaftenaar, a VT100 interface for SRS similar to
SRS V3.1 .
The disadvantages: SRS4_08 uses more system resources during the indexing
compared to SRS V3.1 and SRSCURS is relatively slow because it runs under
a TCL interpreter.

Perhaps you should give SRSCURS a try?
