They were mainly written for my own testing use, before
the GUI client was a twinkle in Matthew's (or anyone elses)
eye.  They did work fine a few days ago, though.

None of them use the DAS DSN mechanism -- you have to point
them at a specific DAS datasource rather than a complete server.
Try:

  http://servlet.sanger.ac.uk:8080/das/ensembl080/

Note that, due to some `issues' with the java.net.URL API,
the trailing slash is very, very, important.  This should
probably be in <blink /> tags in the documentation
somewhere...

   Thomas.
