------- Comment #12 from ahawkins at watson.wustl.edu  2007-03-09 13:48 EST -------
Actually, the header of my file does specify a schema location:
<ExchangeSet xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/docsum
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/specs/docsum_2005.xsd" specVersion="2.0"
dbSnpBuild="126" generated="2006-08-17 02:47">

But it seems that the code in next_cluster is just stepping past the header
info anyway. It appears to be completely ignoring it, as far as I can tell. 

What is the best course of action for this? Should I be getting files from
eutils instead of the ftp site? Do those files always contain the same data
(aside from the conversion you mention)? Can I get the most recent version or
is there a lag? Or would it be better if the parser worked on my version?
