As I am involved in both ECD and EGCG, I will try to put something into EGCG 8.0
when it is ready. I take it you are referring to the very latest (new format)
ECD here. Do you mean the genorf.dat file or the contigs/*.dna files (which are
closer to EMBL format and have more sequence data)?
Beware though - E.coli sequencing is now going so well that ECD has a contig (and
more to follow) over the 350k mark, which will give some problems with GCG.
Another option would be to use a script (or Perl) to reformat into enough of an
"EMBL" format for EMBLtoGCG to accept it.
