Hi Enrique dbifasta will return just the first entry with a duplicated id. The new dbxfasta will return all entries with the duplicated id.
dbifasta is indeed case-insensitive. To make it case-sensitive, you could change the 3 instances of "ajStrMatchCaseC" in dbifasta.c to "ajStrMatchC", recompile and try again. I don't think we'd want to make that change in the distribution though. Hope that helps.
