Hi Alastair,

You should probably try the acedb software. See newsgroup 
bionet.software.acedb and the web documentation server
http://www.sanger.ac.uk/acedocs/

from a simple text file containing the beginning and end of your objects
(e.g. clones), it will draw it on a map. However the main purpose of
acedb is first to be a database for your biological data. It is compiled
by the authors (J. Thierry-Mieg and R. Durbin) for Dec alpha and many
other platforms)

Good luck.

Hugues
