Is this real SRS or LookUp? Ah, GCG 7.2 so it is real SRS.
Anyway, the index you no longer need is the .seqcat one (used for
STRINGSEARCH, which you can now safely take out and shoot.
The other index files are used by GCG to retrieve entries by name or by
accession number, and it will get very upset if you remove them
Anyway, they are not big compared to the size of the database.
Don't suppose you have an SRSWWW server too ... ?
