Files:

.contig, .seq, .qual, .seq_name2ti

Steps:

1. makeConinfo ASSEMBLY.coninfo
 $ more ASSEMBLY.coninfo

 <meta name='db'>Xoo</meta>
 <meta name='desc'>Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae strain PXO99A</meta>

 <meta name='taxid'>360094</meta>
 <contig id="1106158952778_stitched" conformation="CIRCULAR" subtype="NEW"/>
 <file src="Xoo.contig"/>
 <seq src="Xoo.seq"/>
 <qual src="Xoo.qual"/>

 </coninfo>

2. buildAssemblyArchive ASSEMBLY.coninfo --prompt --subname umd-20070816-125223
 problems:
    * submitter_reference="tigr...." : replace tigr with umd
    * conformation: always LINEAR    : replace LINEAR with CIRCULAR
    * taxid: not recognized          : replace <taxid>id</taxid> with <organism descriptor="TAXID">id</organism>
 $ ls -1 umd-20070816-125223*
