We have a program that will read an .MSF file (and some other formats) and
produce a REGIS output (on screen or into a file). The sequence characters
itself are all in black but you may specify the background colour for each
amino acid, (some amino acids may have the same colour). There are converters
from REGIS to SIXEL and from SIXEL to HPGL... Ugly, I agree, but just in case
it could help.
