+Spidey is an mRNA-to-genomic alignment program. For a complete
+description of how Spidey works, visit
+http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/spidey/spideydoc.html.
+
+This is just repackaging of the ready binary for x86 and will not run
+on x86_64. It will probably work just fine on a Slackware multilib
+box, but we do not support that ;). If you want to build spidey from
+source, you should download and compile the NCBI toolkit. For more
+information: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/spidey/spideysource.html
