Hi,

i am having problems extracting CDS from NCBI flat files using coderet. 
I keep getting the error 'Unable to read sequence'.
I guess the problem could be solved if I used the appropriate command 
line arguments like -sformat1, for instance. However, in the docs is is 
not stated what options I have for the associated qualifiers.
Any idea what could be the problem or what options there are for the 
qualifiers?
