Dear Andrew,
                      after the modifications (made by Christophe Caron) 
that you have indicated, it seems that it works!! (it's rather long, but 
my student has told me that before it never lasted so long time in the 
machine). She is not here today, I hope that she will confirmate the 
success tomorrow.
We use your package in the "threading" -a method that shoul predict the 
secondary structure af the proteins from their sequence.

Many thanks for your kind help. Sincerely
Karel Z.
