[C++ Toolkit ANNOUNCE] ID1_FETCH -- new C++ ID1 and Entrez2 n/w client to fetch bio-sequences

[Denis Vakatov]

Aaron Ucko has completed the full-blown version of ID1_FETCH -- a C++
analogue of the popular "idfetch" utility.
It is written using only C++ Toolkit APIs, and employs C++ based
ASN.1 and XML data serialization, object manager, new NCBI dispatcher
and new NCBI network client API.


The detailed on-line docs (with examples and refs to the source code) are:

  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/tools/id1_fetch/id1_fetch.html

and you can try out its pre-built executables located in:

  UNIX:     $NCBI/c++/*/bin/id1_fetch  (e.g. $NCBI/c++/Release/bin/id1_fetch)
  MS-Win:   \\Dizzy\public\cxx\bin\id1_fetch.exe



-----
N.B.  ID1_FETCH code (as well as the code of its simplistic ancestor
      ID1_FETCH_SIMPLE) can also serve as a great reference (or even
      starting) point for other C++ developers beginning to write their
      own applications based on the NCBI C++ Toolkit.

P.S.  A job well done, Aaron!
