ASN2FF(1)

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
A summary of options is included below.

-   Print usage message

-A X
    Show region starting at X (default is 0)
