Not everybody has it on the PATH. At least not me. We have a 
humongous amount of packages here, and including all their paths
in PATH would exceed maximum allowable variable length. What we
do have is a script that users run to add/remove packages to their
environment as needed.

I'd rather favour a perl variable $emboss_bin = "/your/path/to/emboss";
(which is How I'm modifying the script to make it work and then refer
to applications as "$emboss_bin/$application"
