Dear Klaus, 

You could make a dot-plot of the sequence against itself. Repeats will show up as diagonal lines parallel to the main diagonal.

Dear Klaus,

would the SMART-Server (http://smart.embl-heidelberg.de/) be something you are
looking for? If your repeats are long enough to make up domains it might.
