Name
       SWISS::ACs

Description
       SWISS::ACs represents the AC (accession) lines within an SWISS-PROT + TrEMBL entry as specified in the user manual
       http://www.expasy.org/sprot/userman.html .

       The SWISS-PROT format has recently been changed to multiple AC lines.  This module will read

	Ordinary AC lines
	   AC	P10585;

	The old temporary format (for internal use only)
	   AC	Q57333; O08291; O08202; O08292; O08203; O08293; O08204; O08294;
	   **	O08205; O08295; O08206; O08296; O08207; O08297; O08208; O08298;
	   **	O08213;

	and the new format.
	   AC	Q57333; O08291; O08202; O08292; O08203; O08293; O08204; O08294;
	   AC	O08205; O08295; O08206; O08296; O08207; O08297; O08208; O08298;
	   AC	O08213;

       But, SWISS::ACs will DROP funny ** comment lines that are sometimes found following an AC line:

	   AC	Q48558; P71434;
	   **	MERGED 2 TREMBL ENTRIES.

       This module will always write the new format with multiple AC lines.
