It's OK Alan.
I've been talking to him and he says:
"The problem with getorf is one to do with the poor quality of the cDNAs,
not the program. getorf in many cases pulls out a reasonable ORF, but
one that is not in agreement with BLASTX data."
I've pointed him in the direction of ESTScan:
Iseli C, Jongeneel CV, Bucher P
Proc Int Conf Intell Syst Mol Biol 1999;:138-48
ESTScan: a program for detecting, evaluating, and
reconstructing potential coding regions in EST sequences.

This should do what he requires.
