We could easily add a -version global qualifier ... for the next release. We can guarantee that embossversion and needle are in sync - assuming they are built using the same libraries as that is where the version is recorded. Standalone build are an issue though and it would help debug in a few cases. regards, Peter Rice _______________________________________________ EMBOSS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/emboss
