Esee version 3. includes the output portion of Readseq plus support for
MEGA, LWL85, LWL91 and Phylip (non-interleaved). The only new input format, so
far, is GenBank. In response to the original query, sequences saved in the Esee
.sav format can have an accession number as part of the name field and this may
remain hidden since one rarely needs to print-out the entire 64 character
NAME field.
P.S.:
Although Esee3 is still under development it is a fully functional, substantial
upgrade available via anonymous ftp (or gopher) from trog.mbb.sfu.ca
(in the directory pub/esee).
