I'm sorry for such a stupid question.. I'm not a programmer nor a linux guy so I got a bit lost here... many thanks matyas _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
