The databases are defined in a file emboss.defaults in the share/EMBOSS/ 
directory where EMBOSS is installed.

In that directory you will find a file emboss.default.template with 
example database definitions.

Some databases are remote (e.g. method: "srs") and can be defined and used.

Others need local data files and a local index created by EMBOSS 
(method: emboss and method: emblcd) creatted by the dbx* and dbi* 
programs in EMBOSS.

Let us know if you need any more help. We are working on more detailed 
instructions which will appear on the EMNBOSS website.

regards,

Peter Rice
