[Biojava-l] new problem: serializable

[Bernd Jagla]

  Yes, that's what I am doing. I have subclassed from SimpleRichSequence 
to SimpleSerializableRichSequence (couldn't think of something nicer...) 
and am working my way through the bits...
I just haven't found the tools that make this a "jiffy". I am sweating 
here; more or less at least.. ;)
Thanks again
