I can not find anything that looks like a local BLAST interface in the cvs (no doubt my oversight). Is it in biophp/Sean/semi-official? Shall we move it to biophp/genephp/interfaces? Do we have a common scheme to build interfaces to external programs (I simply made a function with as parameters the path to the application and an array containing all variables to be fed to the application as an array with key-value pairs, the function also returns an array with key-value pairs generated by the app).
