-CodonLogo (http://recode.ucc.ie/CodonLogo) is a tool for creating sequence 
-logos from biological sequence alignments.  It can be run on the command line,
-as a standalone webserver or as a CGI webapp.
-
-
-For help on the command line interface run
-    ./codonlogo --help
-
-To build a simple logo run
-    ./codonlogo  < cap.fa > logo.eps
-
-
-To run as a standalone webserver at localhost:8080 
-    ./codonlogo --server
-
-
-An example file of probabilities is included, examplepriorfile.txt
-It can be used with the following command.
-
-    ./codonlogo --prior examplepriorfile.txt < cap.fa > logo.eps
-
-
-There is a known issue with GPL Ghostscript 9.04 which affects some users which may cause ghostscript to segfault. 
-This is not believed to be a problem with CodonLogo.
-This is being investigated. if you encounter this problem it's recommended to downgrade to version 9.01 or earlier of ghostscript.

+
+KNOWN ISSUES:
+
+There is a known issue with GPL Ghostscript 9.04 which affects some users which may cause ghostscript to segfault or prevent codonlogos from being generated in anything other than eps format. 
+
+This is believed to be an issue with ghostscript and a bug report has been submitted to the ghostscript mailing list.
+This is being investigated. if you encounter this problem it's recommended to downgrade to version 9.01 of ghostscript or earlier .
