If you have access to a SUN or other Unix computer, then 
contact Chris Fields, cfields@nmsu.edu, about his _gm_
program, or see the June? 1990 CABios for an article on gm.

His program is easy to use, and is designed to do just as you 
ask: analyze an unknown stretch of dna for ORFS and such, and
it does it in a state of the art fashion using several tests.
If you have a computer that emulates XWindows terminal, you can
get a nice graphic display.  The program is free.
