SLiMSuite 2014-04-22 now available

A new download of SLiMSuite (release 2014-04-22) is now available. As well as fixing the gopher.py error, the download page and readme have had a slight makeover, which should make them load quicker.

As part of ongoing consolidation and documentation, SeqSuite has now been incorporated into in a single SLiMSuite download. (Previously, SLiMSuite was available as a reduced set of programs and SeqSuite had the full set.) The intention is to retire the SeqSuite moniker over the coming months, although the programs themselves will still be available.

The lastest release also features a new program, SLiMFarmer, for running (Q)SLiMFinder and SLiMProb batch jobs on parallel processors. SLiMFarmer is still under development and should hopefully work with other SLiMSuite programs too but has not yet been tested.
