Which Software Can Generate Local Alignment?

Could anyone let me know which software I can use to do local alignment of two sequences? Thanks very much!

Maybe you can start with "water" (implementation of Smith and Waterman local alignment) in the EMBOSS package.

In Unbuntu: apt-get install emboss!

BLAST (ie. BLAST2SEQ)

Edit: I second water too. Its very useful (albeit quite slow...)
