Hi Aaron, Hi Andreas,

Please, have a look at my two last commits (
https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/ncbi-tools6/commits/master). Actually,
the first one was made a month ago.

I tried to run it in a similar way to *asn2asn*. It throws an error which
starts with "The asn2ff flatfile generator is obsolete and unsupported.  Please
switch to using asn2gb/SeqEntryToGnbk in the future."

I added a test for *gbseqget* within if statement which checks for internet
connection.

A test for *nps2gps* also presents now.

Aaron, thank you for the explanations! They helped me a lot!

Aaron, Andreas: what is your opinion about the whole test? Could we
consider it as completed?
