Nathan, 
are you really talking about Primegen?
I know a programme called PrimerGen which can be 
used to design (degenerated) primers for protein
stretches up to 80 aa. It is ok and runs under DOS. 
There are certain other programmes using larger platforms.
If anybody knows a DOS, (perhaps also Windows) programme
that handles more than 80 aa, please post.
