Is it possible to highlight this in the EMBOSS manuals somehow?
Application manual pages for the dbx utilities that mention the over 2
Gbyte capability do of course exist, but the 2G limit is not mentioned
in the respective manual pages of the dbi utils ('Known Bugs' for
instance). So, if you have someone that reads the admin manual, he/she
goes to dbi and not the dbx utils by default.
(If such a reference exists I apologize, but I can't see it. My comments
refer to 'tfm' manual output for up to version 4.1.0 and the on-line
manual on URL: http://emboss.sourceforge.net/docs/adminguide/admin.html ).
