Function

   Reads and writes a codon usage table

Description

   Copies a codon usage table. This program supports all available codon
   usage input and output formats. Rather than a copy utility, it is
   intended as a format conversion utility so that codon usage data can
   be exported to other applications that support only a single format.

Algorithm

Usage

   Here is a sample session with codcopy


% codcopy 
Reads and writes a codon usage table
Codon usage file: Eecoli.cut
