[EMBOSS] Testing as if user - Antigenic

[Aengus Stewart]

Hi,

I am going through the software attempting to test it as if I was a user
ie doing the things I shouldnt.

I have just given antigenic a DNA seq rather than a PROT seq and it
gives at first glance what appears to be a reasonable result file.

It has recognised that the file was DNA rather than PROT as it has bases
rather than residues in the headers. 

However having detected that the sequence is DNA should it run at all?
