[Bioperl-l] Fwd: [blast-announce] New BLAST URL available at the NCBI

[Chris Fields]

They work exactly the same as the old URL, at least on the surface; I  
haven't tried changing many URLAPI parameters.  I went ahead and  
changed the URL in RemoteBlast to http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi 
  as it works with RemoteBlast.t.
