I'll do this sometime this weekend.

I'd be happy to maintain the code for the time being.  Of course, I'll 
need advice on where (which package(s)) you'd like the code to go.  The 
way it is structured right now is like this:

x.chromatogram:
   Interface, "simple" implementation, exceptions, factory class
x.chromatogram.formats:
   Implementations for specific file formats (and assoc. parsers)
x.chromatogram.graphic:
   The Java2D drawing class
x.chromatogram.utilapps:
   The command-line programs

But looking at the biojava hierarchy, I imagine that the "formats" 
package should probably be split up into subpackages of 
org.biojava.bio.programs.  "graphic" might go into 
org.biojava.bio.gui.chromatogram.  I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks for your input,
Rhett
