You must use CSDS to import or move sequences between sequence databases since the first record in each sequence database contains database specific information.
To delete or rename a sequence database:
You can use DOS or WINDOWS to copy and rename sequence databases, however, the new name of the sequence database must be in DOS 8. format (i.e., 8 characters followed by ".seq").
Sequence databases do not have index files.
Sequence picture information is stored in the picture database. The picture database consists of two files in folder C:\SQDATA\PICTURES (PICTURE.DAT and PICTURE.INX). If you move sequences from one database to another, the picture is not moved. To reassociate a picture with a sequence, you must either 'Edit [Graphics]' or 'Proofread' the sequence.
