Seqed says 'recovering...' for ever!!
When you exited
Seqed the previous time, something abnormal happened
that caused seqed to rescue your sequence into a file called
seqed.log. If this file was somehow corrupted, then the next
time seqed is started, you will get a message saying
recovering....can't open
and nothing more will happen. The solution to get seqed working
again is to delete the seqed.log file (by typing 'rm seqed.log').
Note: This problem seems to have been fixed in GCG 9.0
