[julia-users] Bio package - open function error

[St Elmo Wilken]

Hi,

I am brand new to the Bio package and wanted to play with it a bit. I have 
some transcription data in a FASTA file which I want to read. Based on the 
docs I tried:
stream = open("somefile.fasta", FASTA)
but all this generates is  
ERROR: UndefVarError: FASTA not defined
Am I doing something wrong?

Also, do I need to have colm and ragel installed for Bio to work?

Thanks!
