GP is a set of small programs for working with sequence data. It is part of genpak. The programs are written as a sort of 'biological' extension to the standard Unix tools (sed, awk, grep, and the whole myriad of little, useful tools). They accept standard input and can spawn the data to standard output, so you can place them in a pipe as any other Linux command or use them in a cgi script. All programs are written in ANSI C, and are supposed to 1) aid manipulate large data sets in intensive batch processing, and 2) facilitate production of cgi-based local web servers providing some basic functions.
