I have been looking around for a program like that for the mac and as
far as I know ClustalV is the best one available for free. You can run it
without seqapp, but it can be a bit confusing to get it to work for the first
time. There is a UNIX version of clustalV and I am pretty sure it has been
ported to DOS.
Clustalv is in most of the bio software archives but to name one I think it
can be downloaded by anonymous ftp at felix.embl-heidelberg.de
ClustalV is not a Mac style program but once you get it to work It's a dream
Good luck
