name
      rseq: rsequence calculated from encoded sequences

synopsis
      rseq(encseq: in, cmp: in, rsdata: out, output: out)

files
      encseq: the output of the encode program
      cmp: a composition from the comp program.
          if cmp is empty, then equal frequencies are assumed.
      rsdata: a display of the information content of each position
         of the sequences, with the sampling error variance.
         This output is ready to be used as input to rsgra or as data
         for genhis for plotting.
      output: messages to the user.

description
      Encoded sequences from encseq are converted to a table of frequencies
      for each base (b) at each aligned position (l).  rsequence(l)
      and the variance var(hnb) are calculated and shown along with
      their running sums.  rsequence and the variance due to sampling
      error are shown for the whole site, but the running sums let one
      find rsequence and the variance for any subrange desired.
         n, the number of example sequences may vary with position, so
      both n and e(hnb) are shown.

bugs
      Does not handle di-nucleotides or longer oligos

technical notes
      Constants maxsize (procedure calehnb) and kickover (procedure
      makehnblist) determine the largest n for which e(hnb) is used.  Above
      this, ae(hnb) is used.  Do not set these below 50 without careful
      analysis.  Other constants are in module rseq.const.
