Hi guys,
one question about Standaloneblastplus.

When i run the blast the factory is creating 2 temp files. One which  
is holding the blast result and another one which is holding the query  
seq. The second one has a file extension .FAS.

My question is: is it possible to create manually this .FAS file? So  
it will be unique to the process. For now it is automatically created  
and for each query a new file is being created of the type  
DBDrandomstuff.fas. But i found that when i run several concurrent  
blasts some problems appear and some of the blasts get broken. So i  
would like to manually create only one .FAS file per factory in which  
the queries to be copied.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you
Dimitar
