I'm having a problem when converting some parameters from the blast/
classic BLAST to the "new" BLAST+.

Here are the parameters I am using now: -q -5 -G 3 -E 3 -F "m D" -e
700 -Y 1.75e12
When I try to convert it for the new BLAST+, I have problems with -F
"m D" and with -Y 1.75e12.
Here is what I tried so far:
blastn -out salidablastTMP.xml -outfmt 5 -query /tmp/tmpN71DLR -db ~/
bio/data/vector -evalue 25 -searchsp 1.75e12 -gapopen 3 -gapextend 3 -
penalty -5
But I got
Error: (CStringException::eConvert) Cannot convert string
'1.75e12' to Int8 (m_Pos = 1)
Error: (CArgException::eConvert) Argument "searchsp". Argument
cannot be converted: `1.75e12'
Any idea for both the -Y (now searchsp) and -F parameters?
