We do currently prepare the dbtools package for general release. The
software you require will make a listing of the files, sort them , remove
duplicates, and extract a new file after having cleaned the listing.
The List Update Principle (LUP) programs can do this.
The dbtools package is currently in 'beta' testing but runs to our
satisfaction. A cut from the current development tree is on bioftp.unibas.ch
in the programs/bioftp-sw/dbtools directory. If you want to read what is
there then you might try to read it via a WWW browser on the URL
ftp://bioftp.unibas.ch/programs/bioftp-sw/dbtools/explode/doc/JAMINX.HTML
The files you might want are either DBTOOLS.BCK or dbtools.tar.Z, depending
on which operating system you are on. Feedback is most welcome!
The FTP server was rather busy lately. Apologies if you get temporarily
rejected.
