database help

[Thomas Keller]

Greetings,
The sysadmin for the machine with GCG installed, was kind enough to 
allow me to mount the gcg databases maintained at my institution. This 
should save me a lot of headaches, yet allow me the convenience of 
using them with EMBOSS on my machine. But I am unsure how to make them 
available to EMBOSS. Is there some general documentation on database 
formats and the steps required for use with emboss? The database 
documentation doesn't cover this particular case.
I'm unsure, for example, if I would put "method: gcg" for all of these? 
would I need to run formatdb on the blast dbs? general stuff like that.
The directory structure looks like this:
gcgnrl3d
gcgswissprot
gcgsrs
gcgpir
gcgembl
gcggenpept
gcgblast
	est_human_00.nsq
	est_human_00.nsi
	est_human_00.nsd
	est_human_00.nin
	est_human_00.nhr
