That input should be simple (something like EMBL:X13776) and the code is 
relatively easy to do

That was the part that used "rich sequence format" to store rearranged 
features and markup.

I expect it can be reproduced using GFF as the feature standard (EMBOSS 
uses GFF internally, it is a good fit with even the EMBL/Genbank/DDBJ 
feature table and extendable for colouring etc - Artemis does something 
similar)

Or MRS from CMBI in Nijmegen. Or something using web services. There are 
  many possibilities.
