[Biojava-l] Quick EMBL Loading?

[Schreiber, Mark]

Hi,

I have done some work on the Serialization issue and I'm pretty
confident that you can safely serialize a sequence by sending it to an
object output stream which creates a binary stream which you can write
to a file. Not exactly a flat file but it retains the object structure.
