[Biococoa-dev] I/O classes

[Koen van der Drift]

Hi Peter,

Good to see you back!

Right now BCSequenceReader is far from finished, I only added a few 
methods (for the simple file formats ;-). The other methods in that 
class are still from the old BCReader class. I think we still need to 
carefully decide on how we are going to implement the datastructure, 
regarding annotations, features, and sequence sets. Feel free to start 
implementing the new methods, but I think we should also revive that 
discussion here. It would be a waste of efforts if you did a lot of 
work, but then later found that you are using a different datastorage 
approach.

cheers,

- Koen.
