SYNOPSIS
afetch [options] alignmentdb key
afetch --index alignmentdb
DESCRIPTION
afetch retrieves the alignment named key from an alignment database in file alignmentdb.
alignmentdb is a "multiple multiple alignment" file in Stockholm (e.g. native Pfam) format.
key is either the name (ID) of the alignment, or its accession number (AC).
The alignmentdb file should first be SSI indexed with afetch --index for efficient retrieval. An SSI index is not required, but alignment retrieval without one may be painfully slow.

file to prepare it for all future afetch's.
