E. coli genomic preps

[Patricia Foster]

Dear Netters,
     What with all the discussion of DNA purification
kits, I thought I would ask if anyone knows of a quick
prep for E. coli genomic DNA.  We have tried the CTAB
protocol in Current Protocols with little success.
I want to both clone and PCR for sequencing.  So far
I am unhappy with results.  Any hints would be appreciated.
Thanks
pat
