I ask because Steve Fisher's recent mail indicates that
this utility is useful in conjunction with LoadBlastSimFast:

     oops, the usage statement for LoadBlastSimFast is out of date.   it
     should instruct you to use the blastSimilarity command.

     LoadBlastSimFast makes a big assumption, that the subject and query
     sequences are in GUS, and their def. lines have GUS primary keys.

     Are your sequences already loaded into GUS?

     steve

and a Google search on 'blastSimilarity' yields almost nothing.

In addition, or possibly instead of, could someone share with me
a sample input file for LoadBlastSimFast?

Thank you for your help.
