Hi Tim:
I know, I've been through it with them too, but neither debian nor
ccp4 want to change, so it was easier just to roll my own bltwish
package, being the natural born diplomat that I am. As for the debian
maintainer, it seems kind of arbitrary to remove an executable that
builds by default when you compile blt from source, but admittedly it
does save them ~933Kb of space.
However, just replacing bltwish with wish isn't quite enough (try the
graphs). You need a patch:
