Author(s)

This program is an EMBOSS conversion of a program written by Ivo Hofacker as part of his VIENNA package.

Although we take every care to ensure that the results of the EMBOSS version are identical to those from the original package, we recommend that you check your inputs give the same results in both versions before publication.

Please report all bugs in the EMBOSS version to the EMBOSS bug team, not to the original author.
