When I was an undergrad at Cornell, I worked writing a bunch of sequence
analysis programs in Pascal which I subsequently optimized into assembler
to run on an Apple II.  But the Pascal was relatively portable, and
I believe that you can get a hold of the programs and source by
writing to (Yes, that's snail mail) to

	Dept. of Biochemistry

Of course, you wanted UNIX and not Apple II, but it might be a start
for people who do use micros in their labs.  They do simple sequence
analysis of proteins and NA sequences.  They can also plot homologies
on a graph.  The programs worked for sequences up to about 32K bases
long.  He can probably also put you in touch with someone who has a
program that allows you to use a digitizer to input the bands from a
restriction digest and calculates the order of the fragments.


I hope that this, though not exactly what you asked for, is
of help to someone.

Ah, Biochemistry, my true love, but I was a klutz, hated labwork, and
had been working on computers for too long to give them up.
