Hi Nick and BLASTies

On my home computer, I have difficulty to view your PostScript files you
sent on the asymmetry measurements this morning. It complains and does
not run. I spend an hour to download newer version of GSview that seems
to need license. Can you or SOMEONE else send PDF version of these
files so I can view them before Monday. I suggest if people sending
postcript files, if they can also include a PDF or JPG versions as well.

I have attached the files.

Thanks.
