FlyBase public data structure has been updated and new
SRS parsing files are available for it. The current data
structure ('starcode') will be phased out over coming months
from common public distribution, though may be available for
longer from an archive server, depending on demand.
The new data and icarus parsing files are available for public
file transfer from

future.

FlyBase has been using SRS for its primary public search engine for
4 years now, finding it a good choice for this.
