Viewing the sample chapter on BLAST, this book seems to be nothing more than the collection of the output from '# <programm name> --help'. The content of this book seems to be free and easily available on the web... My opinion is - this book is junk, sorry for the authors (maybe another chapter provides more usefull info, but not the sample one for sure)! br, Florian Leitner
