[BioC] how to use writeFASTA in modality "append"

[hpages at fhcrc.org]

Hi Maura,

I've added an 'append' argument to the writeFASTA() function.
This is available in the latest Biostrings release (2.12.8)
and devel (2.13.25). Both should propagate to our public
repositories in the next 24 hours. Please update your
installation by following the instructions here:

Cheers,
H.
