### ARB_NT/species/Valid Names/Import names from file

## DESCRIPTION

### Imports the valid and accepted names of bacterial species from a text file issued by the DSZM. The file is $ARBHOME/lib/LoVPBN.txt. Import is necessary always once. All the names are then stored in a separate database section. This section has to be removed before a newer version of the names list can be imported.

## NOTES

- convert line-feed-characters to unix convention (see 'man dos2unix')
- overwrite $ARBHOME/lib/LoVPBN.txt
- lines above ABIOTROPHA are ignored
