[EMBOSS] copying emboss indexes to another directory

[Alexis Torrano Martinez]

Hello

I would like to know if there is any problem if I copy my emboss index
files to another directory and then define another database description
in the emboss.default configuration file.
I have been moving files from our current disk to another with more
room, will it be necessary to regenerate the indexes again with dbiflat?




Some error messages :

seqret UniProtRebost:108_LYCES
Reads and writes (returns) sequences
Error: Cannot open database file 'uniprot_sprot.dat'
Error: Unable to read sequence 'UniProtRebost:108_LYCES'
Died: seqret terminated: Bad value for '-sequence' and no prompt

## UniProtRebost is the definition for our UniProt at the new disk.

Done some debugging to seqret with -debug option. It seemed seqret was
searching for uniprot_sprot.dat at the same directory in the new disk
where I copied the indexes I had on the old disk. 


    A lot of thanks!


    Alexis.
