=head1 NAME

Bio::SeqIO::FTHelper - Helper class for Embl/Genbank feature tables

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Used by Bio::SeqIO::EMBL,Bio::SeqIO::genbank, and Bio::SeqIO::swiss to
help process the Feature Table

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Represents one particular Feature with the following fields

      key - the key of the feature
      loc - the location string of the feature
      <other fields> - other fields

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists.  Your participation is much appreciated.

=head2 Support 

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and 
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly 
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem 
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
the bugs and their resolution.  Bug reports can be submitted via the web:
