If the software package you normally use will make a dot plot then use
that and see if you get 100% similarity.  We always used MacDNAsis but
I believe DNAstar and MacVector will do the same thing.  If you don't
have any of these you may want to carry your disk to a lab that does
because they are painfully expensive.

Hope this helps,
