Where can I get PISE and also the new interface under development?

I've very recently started working in Bioinformatics. Sometime back (when
I had only heard about GCG and didn't know of anything called EMBOSS) I
made a small program for Chaos-Game-Representation. It is an interactive
program using svgalib on Linux console and can read DNA/RNA sequences, has
a choice of number of points to plots (starting and ending), random plot,
probability and percentage of points, shows a grid, sequences, probability
for random plot, printing to PNG file etc. and is very colorful. I tested
it against 33million bases and it plots that in 14 seconds and prints to
file instantaneously on a normal PC. It is currently under LGPL (binary
under GPL). Is it possible to include this in EMBOSS. I plan to port it to
Mesa to make the program platform independent and also add a command line
mode. I do not know anything about AJAX or ACD yet but am trying to learn.
The program is available at
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/science/biology/dnacgr-0.2.tar.gz
and from my website below.

Hoping that you'll like the program and include it in EMBOSS,

Thanks,
Indraneel
