True. Probably more of my reluctance is the relearning curve. But I often my algorithms try to use all the memory of the machine, and if I start running some extra overhead I wont be happy... ... but, yes, it is sheer laziness on my part with a shade of not wanting to learn something which then wont work... _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
