Hello Hiram,

I was not aware of this Genomewiki site. So if I understand correctly, I must 
use hgWiggle command to retrieve the data, and this command is part of genome 
browser software that I first must install on linux/unix with some additional 
databses. I was more interested in specific external script (preferably 
something that works on windows) that can deal with wiggle+wib independently.  

Thanks, Avi

Good Evening Avi:

These tables you are referring to are the "wiggle" types of tables.
Yes, you will need the .wib files locally to process this this data,
as well as the .txt.gz dumps of the SQL table.
