Description Tony Maher 2000-10-29 08:20:01 UTC 
This is port of the NCBI toolkit that is available by anonymous ftp from
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
I have not gotten explicit permission for the toolkit to be distributed
via cdrom but the README file states:

"The NCBI Software Development Toolkit was developed for the production and
distribution of GenBank, Entrez, BLAST, and related services by NCBI. We
make it freely available to the public without restriction to facilitate the
use of NCBI by the scientific community."

and the Copyright code on the source files carries similar message.
So I don't see any problem with its inclusion.

There are some improvements I'd like to see made to this port
but it _is_ fully functional and numerous people would actually like
to use it now!
