.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBbetween\-two\-genes\fP reads a tab\-delimited file
(as produced by \fBxtract\fP(1), perhaps)
on standard input
and writes to standard output a consecutive subset of its lines,
from the (first) line whose first field is
.I key1
up to (but \fBnot\fP including) the next line whose first field is
.IR key2 .
Both keys are expected to be alphanumeric (gene symbols or the like);
using other characters can yield undefined behavior.
