Compiling the application
While in base directory (e.g., /home/afgane/dBLAST), execute:
javac -d bin/ src/com/dBLAST/util/*.java
(-d option specifies where to store class files. It will create all the package subdirectories from the specified folder (e.g., by specifying bin/, it will
create bin/com/dBLAST/util/ and put all class files there))
There is also a compile.sh script that automates above process.

Invoking the application
Must first execute (if not provided in .bashrc):
export dBLAST_LOCATION=/home/afgane/dBLAST
export CLASSPATH=$dBLAST_LOCATION/bin/:$dBLAST_LOCATION/lib/JSAP-2.1.jar:$CLASSPATH
Usage: java com.dBLAST.util.DynamicBLAST_6 [(-p|--propertiesFile) ] [-g|--modeGrid] [(-q|--queryFile) ] [(-d|--database) ] [-f ] [-c|--clean] [-h|--help]

[(-p|--propertiesFile) ]
Propeties file provding job arguments and options. (default:
propsLS.properties)

[-g|--modeGrid]
If switch present, analysis and fragmentation are performed on GRID
resources rather than using LOCAL resource.

[(-q|--queryFile) ]
Query input file to be used for the job (if another value is present in
the job properties file, value associated with this switch overrides
it).

[(-d|--database) ]
Query input file to be used for the job (if another value is present in
the job properties file, value associated with this switch overrides
it).

[-f ]
