Changed 12/03/2007 (bsenf):
- Bug fixed - only select '5mC desity plot as png-image' will break pipeline with error 'Cannot delete FASTA file'.
- New - files will leave on server for only a few days now;

Changed 10/07/2006 (bsenf,grunau):
Version 1.3: Attach all files as single zip file

Changed 04/10/2003 (bsenf):
We provide only GD library that supports PNG files. So it was necessary to change some perl code like: 
   old: print im->gif;
   new: print im->png;

Changed 04/12/2003 (bsenf):
Due to fit postscript output to page A4 the scaleing factor was reduced to 90percent.
