->    Has anyone here written a parser for ab1 sequence files?  I'm  
-> interesting in capturing the quality values that accompany each  
-> sequencing result.  Apparently the file format specs are ABI trade  
-> secrets, but I've read that "many people have reverse-engineered  
-> them" ( http://www.bio.net/bionet/mm/bio-soft/2002-June/023729.html ).

I don't know of any myself, but this may be relevant:
