Some users of the MSU mail server utility asked me for a similar tool that
allows downloading of database entries. So, here it is:
dbget allows the easy retrieval of database entries from various mail
servers, incl. EMBL, GenBank, SWISS-PROT, PIR, BLOCKS, and PDB. It can be
run interactively or from the command line. In fact, it is nothing fancy,
just a nice user interface that correctly formats service requests.
Copies for UNIX and OpenVMS can be obtained from ftp.embl-heidelberg.de
(/pub/software/unix/dbget.tar.Z or /pub/software/vax/dbget.uue) or by mail
from netserv at embl-heidelberg.de (get unix_software:dbget.uue or get
vax_software:dbget.uue).
