sequence identity: have answer



This is not hard to do.  One just has to specify a sequence identity matrix
and then convert it in a spreadsheet to the complement.  Only distance
matrices can be used to make the matrix.  The following error message was
helpful to me:

seqcomp_W> RR_FILE must be a distance matrix;
  automatically converted: new_elem = -old_elem + max_elem
