[Biojava-l] BlastLikeSearchBuilder and queryIDs

[Schreiber, Mark]

Hi -

There have been some very recent changes made to the CVS to allow the
recovery of things like the query ID that where previously not
supported. They will be in BioJava1.3 final and I will make an effort to
update the BioJava in anger site when they come out.

In the meantime hopefully Keith James can tell you how it all works...
Keith, are you there???
