Hey all;
[Ashleigh reports errors in parsing Clustalw and PIR files]
Me:

To follow up to the list -- I got the files and just now squished
the bugs. Here were the problems:
=> The clustalw format didn't accept question marks in title names.
=> The NBRF/PIR parser didn't handle Clustalw format PIR, which is
valid but different then the PIR files you can download.
Fixes for both of these are in CVS and I also squashed some other
bugs in the PIR parsing that I found.
Thanks again to Asleigh for the report.
Brad
