coils for Debian
----------------

The software has no version specified. It is said to be the same algorithm
as published in

  Lupas, van Dyke & Stock
  Predicting coiled coils from protein sequences Science

The web server is not prepared in this Debian package. A separate package
will be prepared upon respective requests for the CGI. The perl scripts
are distributed in /usr/share/doc/coils.

The source was last modified in 2002, hence the version, as no other
version information was found.

Interest in this package raised again with the advent of the cloning
tool GENtle in Debian, which (improvably) ships sources of ncoils with
it. We will see how we can bring the two packages together.

The files new.mat and old.mat are installed to /usr/share/ncoils, the
ncoils binary should be informed explicitly via the environment variable
COILSDIR of that location. Contact me if this shall be omittable.
