[BLAST_ANAWARE] Combining asymmetries and calculating uncertainties

Hi,

     Following on from Michael's initial discussion last week about
combining asymmetries and calculating the uncertainties I derived a
few equations which someone should check.

     But my general conclusion is that the way we are combining
asymmetries has some limitations and particularly I would like to
suggest that everyone checks how they calculate the uncertainties as
the statistics are binomial and not normal or gaussian.

     Anyway, as usual I got carried away and generated 6 pages of
text and equations. Please check it and let me know if I made any
mistakes

                                                                         
                       Cheers,
                                                                         
                                       Douglas
