fasta36/conf

================

Files that allow FASTA programs to find libraries using abbreviations.

For example, if the fast_libs_e.www has the line:

Swissprot (NCBI)$0Q${SLIB2}/fa_dbs/swissprot.lseg

and export SLIB2=/slib2

then:

fasta36 ../seq/mgstm1.aa q

is equivalent to:

fasta36 ../seq/mgstm1.aa /slib2/fa_dbs/swissprot.lseg

================

fastlibs -- the original library abbreviation file

fast_new -- allows abbreviations longer than one letter by using "+abbrev+"
  NBRF PIR1 Annotated Protein Database (rel 56)$0+pir1+/slib2/fa_dbs/pir1.lseg

fast_libs_e.www -- use environment variables in library file name

(+long+ abbreviations and ${SLIB2} environment variables can be combined)
