+Pkg-Description: biological sequence file format conversion applet for GNUstep
+ Demo application to demonstrate the possibilities of the BioCocoa framework.
+ .
+ SequenceConverter is a GNUstep applet to convert between sequence file formats.
+ The BioCocoa framework provides developers with the opportunity to add
+ support for reading and writing BEAST, Clustal, EMBL, Fasta, GCG-MSF, GDE,
+ Hennig86, NCBI, NEXUS, NONA, PDB, Phylip, PIR, Plain/Raw, Swiss-Prot and
+ TNT files by writing only three lines of code. The framework is written in
+ Cocoa (Objective-C).
+Remark: Formerly part of Debian as biococoa.app but removed
+ The package was part of Debian under the name biococoa.app which is confusing
+ because biococoa is actually a library for working with sequences under GNUstep.
+ There was an attempt to reupload under the name sequenceconverter.app but
+ ftpmaster did not accepted the package.  The reasons can be read here:
+  http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-med-packaging/2009-May/003430.html
+ .
+ Version 1.6 is the last upstream version that works with GNUstep.  If
+ newer versions are needed to work under Linux try to convince upstream to
+ support GNUstep.
