well, too bad! I think the only way to get around this is to create separate
versions of .i and .is for different versions of blast.
This would be reasonable since not only the format of the output but also
the program options change
parsing the title line for entry names and accession numbers is another
problem and could be alleviated by including productions for both in the
syntax where only one is active at a time. I used a similar solution for
switching between gcg and native format for most sequence database .
