DNA software question

Colleague at Cornell Medical College has a very old Mac with an old version 
of DNAStar, which he likes very much.  His use is not very intensive, but 
primer design, sequence alignment etc are used relatively often.

Since the Mac is about to die, he would like software for a PC (XP Pro) 
that could best perform those functions.  DNAStar (new version) costs 
$1,000/year in licensing costs, which colleague doesn't regard as a wise 
investment.  What are his best options for free or cheap software with 
similar capabilities as what he wants of DNAStar (primer design, sequence 
alignment, etc)?
