[Bioperl-l] Unused or incomplete modules in bioperl-live

[Brian Osborne]

Chris,

Yes, good question. Removing these modules is fine with Richard Adams, but
I've been unable to contact Nat, the address 'natg at shore.net' just bounces
when I try it.

Does Nat subscribe here? Or is there a better address?
