[EMBOSS] ORF selection with EMBOSS

Hi Andres,
 From my point of view, it would do the job if I didn't have a _list_ of 
genes as an input: I hence need to input a list of genes and get as an 
output a list of the longest ORF computed for each gene. If I do this 
directly with getorf and sizeseq, my understanding is that sizeseq won't 
allow me to select the longest ORF for each input sequence. I can make 
the loop myself, but I won't unless it is not ẗhere somewhere in EMBOSS ;).
Cheers,
Hervé
