Not quite,
   We have developed a program that takes a complete genbank file, we use
those of 200kb poxvirus genomes, does BLAST searches on all the annotated
CDS regions and pipes the results through MView.
It may be overkill for what you want.

PS to Greg: have you had any luch with BSU yet? I think it actually works
as planned now!
