I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for but you may want to
take a look at GDE (kudos to Steve Smith), which does many things - including
contig assembly.  There are versions of GDE for Sun Sparcstations, DECStations,
and SGIs.

You can get GDE by gopher or anonymous ftp.

Gopher:  

Point you gopher client at merlot.welch.jhu.edu

select the following directories:

 -->  2.  FTP Sites For Biology/

   -->  18. GDE (Genetic Data Environment)  (Harvard)/

    
FTP:  anonymous ftp to golgi.harvard.edu.


Best of luck,

Dan Jacobson
