## Detailed Description

Global variables for Distance-Package.

## Variable Documentation

int edit_backtrack

Produce an alignment of the two structures being compared by tracing the editing path giving the minimum distance.

set to 1 if you want backtracking

int cost_matrix

Specify the cost matrix to be used for distance calculations.

if 0, use the default cost matrix (upper matrix in example), otherwise use Shapiro's costs (lower matrix).
