FASTA file specifications
I didn't know how much of the FASTA file specifications were to be implemented (supported), so for the REXX example (version 2), I took what I could glean from the WIKI article and supported:
- blank lines
- lines that start with a semicolon [;]
- lines that end with an asterisk [*]
- data lines that contain blanks, tabs, and other whitespace
No attempt was made to format lines with VT (vertical tabs) which can be used to specify multiple lines in one record.
