The aim of the Quick Guide is to provide a one sheet of A4 (two sides) quick
reference guide to the common programs and command line arguments that are
used with EMBOSS. I found it very useful when teaching as an aide memoire
for myself and the students.

Explaining how to install EMBOSS on each architecture is NOT the aim - for
that read the admin guide, the maintenance of which Alan and others have
taken off my hands. I will however reference the admin guide for
installation info.

If you haven't seen the quick guide a somewhat dated pdf is available in
emboss/docs/manuals/emboss_qg.pdf
