NAME

asn2ff - convert ASN.1 biological data to a flat format (old version)

SYNOPSIS

asn2ff [ -] [ -A X] [ -B X] [ -C] [ -G] [ -L F] [ -M] [ -R] [ -V F] [ -a filename] [ -b] [ -d] [ -e] [ -f  b/p/e/s/x/z] [ -g] [ -h F] [ -k F] [ -l filename] [ -m r/d/s/c/k/l/e/p] [ -n F] [ -o  filename] [ -p F] [ -q] [ -r  filename] [ -s] [ -t] [ -v F] [ -w] [ -y] [ -z]

DESCRIPTION

asn2ff converts descriptions of biological sequences from NCBI's ASN.1 format to one of several flat-file formats. This program is built around a deprecated interface; please use asn2gb(1) instead.

OPTIONS
