 I second Gregg on that point, perl is very easy to get running and
doing what you want...

 I've also written routines in perl for processing GenBank flatfiles
into .ace, or one routine rather. It takes a file of flatfile entries
and massages them into .ace, so Gregs seems a bit more flexible...

 There is an early, buggy(?), version available at
weeds@mgh.harvard.edu, if you want to have a look.
