EMBL indexing strategy

[Jack Leunissen]

I index the whole lot in one go. This is what the files look like:

-rw-r--r--    1 jackl    geninf   479077377 Jun 18 02:22 entrynam.idx
-rw-r--r--    1 jackl    geninf   403886332 Jun 18 02:33 acnum.trg
-rw-r--r--    1 jackl    geninf   101085912 Jun 18 02:33 acnum.hit

So about 1GB in all. Not too bad, considering that the flatfiles are
120 GB, and the SRS indices amount to 37 GB.

Cheers,
Jack
