I realize now that I omitted a key qualifier.  GenBank queries
come back in GenBank format, PIR queries in something that looks
like PIR format but with some extra linefeeds separating field
labels from data.  But the Swiss-Prot returns not only have the
extra line-feeds, but use different heading names than the
Swiss-Prot distribution (full names rather than abbreviations).
I guess the real question is whether these deviations will cause
problems for various programs designed to read/convert PIR and
Swiss-Prot formats.
