PC SequenceAnalysis Software wanted

[Greg]

I have been checking out this package recently and I too would strongly
advise trying it out, particularly if you have access to GCG with a 'BOP'
server running; I use it both at home and work now and have found it to be
a most useful (and sufficiently stable) interface to my favorite seq
analysis software (both freeware and GCG).

:    - automatic gel fragment alignment to contigs with CAP app
:    * automatic base calling from ABI or SCF trace files with autoseq app
:    - phylogenetic analysis of alignments with fastDNAml and LSADT apps
:    - consensus, reverse, complement, degap, and distance/similarity operations
:    - restriction maps
:    + pretty print of alignments and sequences with boxed and shaded regions.
:    - translate dna to/from protein using various codon tables
:    + find strings and ORFs
:    - automatic preference saving
:    - user-definable links to external analysis programs
