Dear Peter,

thanks for your mail. I will try to make use of that index
to speed things up when I have time available.

Cheers,
 Charles

I believe ".mft" stands for "Manifest format", and Roche 454 use this
block to hold both a read index and an XML string (the manifest).
Immediately after the ".mft1.00" string are two longs which give the
lengths of the XML string and the actual index data. Then comes
the XML manifest string, followed by the actual index data (same
format as Roche's older ".srt" index only block, uses base 256).

Note the Biopython SFF code has now been merged into our trunk:
