Yeah. I know. Most don't check at all.
The Dr Webb collection does though and works well.
I won't be using the program(s) again though. Too slow even if thorough. I 
can't afford the time penalty. They show plenty of promise though.
I'd rather wait 40 seconds for TBAV and a few more seconds for a couple of 
others of my own, and F-Prot on regular occassions.
AVP is another good one. Just a bit slow is all.
5c worth.
