[EMBOSS] Data Lib sizes and indexing progs

[Alan Bleasby]

The new indexing programs are done (in CVS). The programs are:
dbxflat, dbxfasta and dbxgcg  and they operate like their
'dbi' couterparts. The dbx and dbi programs will be available
in the next release.

So, for EMBL, you would typically index the *.dat files.
As before, you can create id,acc,sv,key,org & des indexes
(though many sites just index id and acc). 

An indexing job on the whole of the recently released EMBL will
produce id, acc and key indexes of the following sizes. They
should give you some idea of the extra disc space you'll need.
