Hi Peter

Sixpack could do with a real sorting out, as could a few of the other 
translation programs, as I have mentioned before:

http://emboss.open-bio.org/pipermail/emboss/2006-May/002529.html

I'd be happy to produce a detailed spec. of what 
sixpack/showseq/transeq does and doesn't do (as opposed to what the 
documentation claims they do), if this would help.  I've been trying 
to write a wrapper script that handles GenBank files and uses EMBOSS 
translation programs as the core of its API, but have been 
consistently frustrated by the bugs in them.

Best wishes
Derek
