[BiO BB] genbank orthography

[Mike Marchywka]

I deleted most of the posts on this thread but as with other thread
if you can reduce the db to text, there are plenty of good tools for
one-time text processing- this is easy with sed and perl. There are
indexing scripts on the web that are only 10-20 lines long. It isn't hard
to find typos in such a list, with or without a spelling dictionary.
