Hi all,

I finally got sick of manually schlepping BLAST files around, so I wrote
something to do it for me.  'zounds' is a very simple server/client
system for coordinating a bunch of 'worker' nodes through a central
server; it does everything in Python with objects and pickling, so it's
easy to do extra Python-based processing on the worker nodes.  See
'filters' for more info.

You can read a bit more about zounds here:

It's freely available, open-source, etc. etc.

Comments and thoughts welcome.

cheers,
