Hi,

I wrote a DOS program to facilitate this kind of work. You must first
do a multi-alignment with CLUSTALW and then open the .ALN file with my
program. This program is called PRIMERS and it is free, try it at:

P.S. Actually I am working on the graphic version but the project is
not very avanced
