Help

I have copied from the states the Los-Alamos hiv dbase (embl format).

Using fromembl (unix flavour, SGI machine) I broke the flat file into individual protein sequences.

The output files containid "$" in the name eg env$u445.embl.  My flavour of unix will not recognise this dollar symbol, so i can't do anything with these sequences.

Any suggestions???

At present I overcame the problem by  ftp'ing to a vax, then recalling them back with a different name (minus the "$")

Slightly long  winded but it worked!!*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
