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.
