Rna Base Paring

Is there any program that takes as an input two RNA sequences and tells you as an output which regions from both sequences possibly base-pair with each other? example:

S1: ACGGGCGUCGC

S2: AUCCCGCAAUA

Then the output will be GGGCGU from S1 and CCCGCA for S2. Also such segments in the output may not entirely basepair, allowing for some loops or hairpins.

Thanks, yet what I need is a program that tells me which parts of two input RNA sequences can possibly basepair with each other. I edited the question.

what about DuplexFold? http://goo.gl/9i0WsV

I found the match using ntdpal (part of the primer3 package)

$ primer3-2.3.5/src/ntdpal  -gval 5.0 -lval 5.0 -p ACGGGCGTCGC `echo -n "ATCCCGCAATA" | tr "ATGC" "TACG"` g
ACGGGCGTCGC                                                           
  ||||||                                                              
TAGGGCGTTAT
