[Schreiber, Mark]

Hi -
 
As this is the second time this has come up, Keith, can I put your solution on Biojava in Anger?

	Hi,
	
	This will not compile because you have a typo at line 23: the method
	should be (as seq is a Sequence)
	
	 seq.removeFeature(feature)
	
	and not
	
	 seq.remove(feature)
	
	Note that when the typo is corrected the program will throw a
	java.util.ConcurrentModificationException as written because you are
	violating the Java Iterator contract. See the archive for messages
	from Mark and myself (in reply to Robert Stones) describing how to
	avoid this.
	
	hth, Keith
