Well, assuming you have GCG already you can install EGCG for free.
Also, GCG format is really very simple - you just need a script (or
a short program) to split the sequence and reference information into
two files, create a header file, and use the GCG DBINDEX program to build
the rest. That is all KABATTOGCG and similar programs really do.
But aside from that, with Kabat there is also an issue of what format
you really want to use the databases in: just a simple sequence database
or as a set of alignments. Both can, in theory, be used with GCG.
