The principal author of this guide is David Martin at the Norwegian EMBnet node.
It is however the result of a team effort. Thanks are due in particular to Alan Bleasby who answered a lot of silly questions, killed more than a few bugs, and provided clear explanations, and to the other EMBOSS developers at the `Hinxton triangle'. I would also like to thank Johann Visagie for the FreeBSD information and Peter Rice for the SRS information.
