Yes. Use any editor to remove the "$" from the "clones$.uaa/uab" files
and re-run uudecode, it will then work. 

CLONES is not yet on the Genbank-server at UH because of this problem.
I've fixed it but not put it up yet.  Several other programs in the
two sw libaries have this brain-damage.  It's an illegal character to
the uuencode/uudecode used by the servers.
