Which is not a very Unix friendly default. I would recommend making teh default -b to be either e.g. nonpareil.npa or maybe take the file name input without the suffix fasta/fastq/fasta.gz/fastq.gz suffix

(note specifying -b works as expected) :)

That's a very good suggestion! I always pass -b, but having a friendly default is much better

Either that or make -b required :), also would be a reasonable approach IMO

Works nicely, thanks :D
