I have just updated the format of footprintDB motifs used in RSAT (www.rsat.eu), which can de downloaded from http://floresta.eead.csic.es/footprintdb/download. This was done to ensure compatibility with compare-matrices in RSAT. Now, motifs look this:

Note that the ID field was added and that a URL pointing to the relevant database entry identified with it is attached. The accession code replaces ':' with '/' to ensure that downstream RSAT analyses can be carried out just fine,
