I had to install DB_File to test the script which then worked fine :)
After re-indexing the sprot40 db I now have a swiss.idx file on my system 
so the module was crucial.
Alas the fetch script still fails - same error:
MSG: swissprot stream with no ID. Not swissprot in my book

The index files have a very slight difference in size 10,588kb from linux 
compared to 10,461kb from win2k.

I'm using ActiveState ActivePerl build 631 which is the most recent.

Just received your most recent email about DB_File the other modules were 
already installed.
So no luck.
