Get the FASTA source from ftp.virginia.edu. It is trivial to modify
the source for the ALIGN program within the FASTA package to use
input sequences of any desired length. Note that Bill Pearson doesn't
recommend that this be done - as smaller alignments will likely be
missed. However I regularly use ALIGN for pairwise alignments of
sequences that are in the range of 100 - 200 kb.
