			PFTOOLS program

		clean_output (String)

		fastaformat (Switch)

		seqfile (Sequence)
			Sequence File

		prosite (Switch)
			Scan PROSITE db (default)?

		profiledb (InFile)
			Profile db (PROSITE/NUCSITE format) (if not PROSITE)

		pfscan_cutoff (Integer)
			Cut-off value

		profile (InFile)
			Profile File  (PROSITE/NUCSITE format, or see next option) 
			pipe: gcg_profile

		gcg2psa (Switch)

		psa_format (Switch)
			List profile-sequence alignments in pftools PSA format. (-x) 

		between (Switch)
			 Display alignments between the profile and the matched sequence regions in a human-friendly format. (-y)

Title   : new()
Usage   : my $pftools = Bio::Tools::Run::PiseApplication::pftools->new($location, $email, @params);
Function: Creates a Bio::Tools::Run::PiseApplication::pftools object.
          This method should not be used directly, but rather by 
          a Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory::Pise instance.
          my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory::Pise->new();
          my $pftools = $factory->program('pftools');
Example : -
Returns : An instance of Bio::Tools::Run::PiseApplication::pftools.
