The clock starts! I am going to try to code a Genbank flat-file adaptor layer from scratch... starting.... NOW! I'll drop a note to the group with my experinces, and also update any docs that I think need to be enhanced based on my trial and error. Since I have never used any of this code before (it is all Dave's code) I think I am a good monkey to try it out "for real"!
