I presume yours are DNA sequences of proteins, and not AA sequences. If
that's right, then you can use readseq, which can convert among about a
dozen formats including your two. (Quite a handy tool to have on hand.)
readseq can handle multiple sequences in a single input file, though
apparently GCG format only permits one sequence per file, so readseq will
create a separate file for each sequence.
readseq is available lots of places via anonymous ftp, including good ol'
IUBIO (ftp.bio.indiana.edu). In the directory /molbio/readseq you'll find
misc executables and even the source.
