- asn2ff plays the same general role as asn2flat, and should be possible to
test similarly.
I tried to run it in a similar way to asn2asn. It throws an error which starts with "The asn2ff flatfile generator is obsolete and unsupported. Please switch to using asn2gb/SeqEntryToGnbk in the future."
- gbseqget is like insdseqget, but formally uses GenBank-specific
notation; as such, it requires network access.
I added a test for gbseqget within if statement which checks for internet connection.
- findspl also requires network access, and will need to be patched in the
same fashion as taxblast; I'll take care of it when I get a chance.

- I'm not sure where you'd find input for asndhuff.
- nps2gps takes a text Bioseq-set or Seq-entry of class nuc-prot, as
obtained by (for instance) idfetch -g1234.
A test for nps2gps also presents now.

That's fair. You can always come back to them later if you feel inspired.
I have also finished with spidey and fa2htgs today.

I'm not sure what's up with that, but as previously noted, it requires
network access anyway.

- errhdr is a developer tool, working with files of the format found in
errmsg/.
- sortbyquote is also a developer tool, essentially a variant of sort
that ignores everything outside quotation marks (and generally has far
fewer options).
I'm not sure any of these is critical to test, but some
should be relatively straightforward to work in at this point, and as
noted I'm not quite ready to upload a new version anyway.
Aaron, thank you for the explanations! They helped me a lot!
Aaron, Andreas: what is your opinion about the whole test? Could we consider it as completed?
With regards,
Liubov
