The "IDs: 0" is the clue.
SRS has big problems when the first section of the index has no data.
The empty file breaks the merge. Thure knows about it. I guess there
will be a fix in SRS 6 :-)
You can get "Ids: 0" for the PID index if you start with ESTs because
there are no CDS features in the EST entries.
Change the order of the EMBL files to have something else first.
I currently use "pro" (flatfile). EBI uses "em_ba" (GCG).
Sorry, but if you change the order of the files you have to rebuild *all*
the indices.
There are SRS index files at the EBI FTP server - but the
filenames are only for GCG format. I have a version at Sanger that
worked with the FTP index files for flat files (I had to add the
filenames in the right order) and also has NID indexed.
