Thanks to all those who responded to my posting (and my concern) about long
sequences in EMBL/Genbank.
Thure Etzold is working on the problem. He has fixed it in SRS #4 and
currently works on SRS #3.1
In the meantime, my users are close to the nervous breakdown for not being
able to use SRS ... So I tried a fix suggested by P. Rice: increase the
maximum sequence length in GCG so as not to split the long sequences.
Rather clever, no? But I probably did something wrong: DBIndex crashed ...
but SRS now works! Life is hard and nobody's perfect...
I'll post another summary when EVERYTHING works.

I totally agree with this! My pointing on the problems caused by long
sequences did not imply in any way that Thure was stupid or that SRS was
bad!!
