+ flower - FLOWgram ExtractoR tools
+
+ The flower executable reads files in SFF-format and produces various output,
+ including sequences with quality, or flowgram data in tabular format. By default,
+ it outputs a textual representation of the data in the SFF-file, much like
+ &#39;sffinfo&#39; from Roche does.
+
+ The fselect executable extracts reads from SFF-files, generating a new
+ SFF-file with a subset of the reads based on various criteria.
+
+ Sometimes SFF files will appear to be corrupted, with all-zero blocks in the
+ file. The frecover program ignores these and tries to resync with the file after an
+ invalid region. This was likely a one-time bug in the 454 software, so this program
+ is probably not so useful any more.
