+RMBlast is a RepeatMasker compatible version of the standard NCBI BLAST
+suite. The primary difference between this distribution and the NCBI
+distribution is the addition of a new program "rmblastn" for use with
+RepeatMasker and RepeatModeler.
+
+RMBlast supports RepeatMasker searches by adding a few necessary
+features to the stock NCBI blastn program. These include:
+
+- Support for custom matrices ( without KA-Statistics )
+- Support for cross_match-like complexity adjusted scoring
+ (Cross_match is Phil Green's seeded smith-waterman search algorithm:
+ www.phrap.org )
+- Support for cross_match-like masklevel filtering.
