I'm partially against it.

NACCESS is also old software, not updated since forever. This shouldn't be
a reason for deprecating modules. If the code isn't available anymore, it's
OK, otherwise, people might still use it. I'd send an email to the general
users list asking first.

&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; &quot;P-SEA is small tool for secondary structure assignment<br>
&gt;&gt; from Ca cartesian coordinates of proteins. It reads<br>
&gt;&gt; PDB-formatted file and return a file containing : the<br>
&gt;&gt; sequence read in one-letter code and the secondary<br>

&gt;&gt; In either case you get warnings about using the &quot;gets&quot;<b=
