Thanks -

Give me a few days and I'll put this up. If I don't please nag me :)

Here is a small contribution.  I use it to find simple motifs. Feel free 
to edit or scrap.
 
/**
 *MotifLister.java
 *Andy Hammer
 *08 Aug 2003
 *Lists all instances of a motif in specified (dna\rna\protein) fasta 
file.
 *The motif can contain Ambiguity symbols
 *Lists the ORF title and position of motif
 *Outputs a list of counts to stdout.
