Sorry - the 'prima' documentation is incorrect - I had been doing bulk
copies of documentation from the old EGCG programs into the
corresponding EMBOSS documentation and this one slipped through by
mistake. 

'prima' has no code in common with the GCG 'prime' program.

I will change the documentation.
