I am running out of things that I can try from my end.  I am not quite
clear on what the problem might be at this point.  On your windows
computer, are you saying that when you run BLAST via the frontend
that you get no response at all, or only that the output
file says "no hits found"?

If I can get some time to take a break from work today, I can try
adding one or two additional checks in the example script to=20
watch the output file and results in more detail, but I'm not
certain if it will help.

It MIGHT also be possible that there is another quirk in Internet
Explorer (I am guessing you're using that browser instead of Netscape,=20
Mozilla, Opera, or any of the other more modern ones?) - I noticed that
the output from BLAST is a COMPLETE HTML record (complete with <html></html>
and <head></head> tags), so the quick-and-dirty way that the example script
just 'inserts' that into the middle of the results page may not display
correctly in some browsers.  This may be the problem if it turns
out that the BLAST output data file actually has text in it (even
if it is just the 'no hits found' page) but it isn't showing up
in your browser.  In that case, it may be possible to wedge in a=20
block of javascript that opens a new window and writes the output results
to it rather than trying to insert it into the middle of the main page.)
