Yes, that's it ! If I use "sw" as file name, composition creates an
erroneous result file with name "swissprot.composition". This however must
be considered as a bug, since GCG programs should recognize *:* as a
databank sequence and anything else as a private sequence. And why does
map not have the problem ?
