These programs were written by Richard Durbin at the Sanger Institute.
Unfortunately there was never any documentation of the algorithms so we
have to try to understand them by reading the source code.

I will have another try at interpreting what is happening and update the
documentation.

Do you have any specific questions about how they work?
