James E. Housley 7e4beec5d7 - This is a fairly extensive rework of this port.
- "EMBASSY" applications are third party tools which have been adapted to
  function as part of EMBOSS, but which are not included with the base EMBOSS
  distribution for licensing or other reasons.  This new version of the
  EMBOSS port now contains the three current EMBASSY applications as well,
  and during installation the user is presented with a dialog(1) menu to
  choose which of these should be isntalled.

Plaintext

The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (EMBOSS) is a
comprehensive set (about 100) of open source tools for genetic sequence
analysis. EMBOSS is produced by the European Molecular Biology Network
(EMBnet - http://www.embnet.org/).
All EMBOSS tools are all built around the same set of core libraries - AJAX
and NUCLEUS - and therefore share a unified user interface, have similar
"look and feel", and implement a uniform sequence addressing methodology.
The various components of EMBOSS are distributed under the GPL, except the
core libraries which are under the LGPL.
EMBASSY packages are third party applications which have been integrated with
the EMBOSS suite, but which are not included in the base EMBOSS distribution
for licensing or other reasons. This port includes the three currently
available EMBASSY applications - MSE, PHYLIP and TOPO. During an interactive
install the user will be asked to choose which of these will be installed
(default: all). Note that the EMBASSY version of PHYLIP should not clash
with the standalone Phylip application due to the fact that its binaries have
been renamed.
