[Bioperl-l] Bio::SeqIO::bti.pm module sought

[Malcolm Cook]

GeneTool is a sequence editor program from BioTools Incorporated which can
import and export GENBANK and EMBL formatted files, preserving their feature
structures.

I have scientists using it to annotate sequences, saving the results in the
GeneTool native format (using a .bti as file extension).

To bad for me, it is not scriptable or otherwise controllable.

I wonder if anyone has gone to the trouble of writing a SeqIO module for
this format that they would be willing to share?

I've tried my support options with them and came up dry.

Having such a thing will save my scientists many trips to the 'File >
Export' menu item.

The __DATA__ section below is an example of what GeneTool produces.

Thanks and regards,
