Hi Jon et al
First of all congrats on the new EMBOSS funding.
Stefan has pointed to an important problem - we really need a good
_flexible_ translator. The current bunch are powerful and fast but
too rigid and in some cases don't appear to do what they say on the
tin. See my previous posts:

I have also some private correspondence with Alan, and Gary Williams,
about these issues which I'd be happy to forward with their
permission. What we need is an app that enables you to say: take
this sequence or sequences, translate them from various x to various
y, specifying strand, and give me output format z. Currently we
don't quite have that. If you could tweak the existing
showseq/prettyseq/sixpack, it would be great.
Cheers
Derek
