[EMBOSS] Batch retrieval of taxonomy/species names using entret.....

[David.Bauer at SCHERING.DE]

If you want to parse Swissprot files which you get from entret, you could
have a look at Swissknife, which is "An object-oriented Perl library to
handle Swiss-Prot entries":

http://swissknife.sourceforge.net/docs/

This can be used to access all header information in sprot files, also the
information in the special format CC lines.
