indexing large databases

[Janice Coventry, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute]

Dear All

I am wondering if there is any way to index files in background while keeping
the old files intact. This would be handy with the large databases like Genbank
which can take a few days to index and so are effectively out of action for
those days.

Thank you in anticipation
Janice
