As Martin Hilbers pointed out, you must have PIDs in the first file
you index (strictly, in the first 100,000 entries). est1.dat has no
PIDs and has 100,000 entries.
There are index files at ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/unix/srs/embl
but you have some work to do to use them for EMBL flat files
(see the README file and watch for filenames in embl.i)
I used this method for the Sanger server, but I modified the indices
later (added NID indices).
