For the latter, you can use ForCon, a Win95 sequence alignment format
conversion program, available for free at
http://bioc-www.uia.ac.be/u/jraes/index.html.

No GenBank format is added (been planning on adding that for ages), but you
can intercovert the following formats: CLUSTAL, EMBL, FASTA, GCG/MSF,
Hennig86, MEGA, NBRF/PIR, PAUP/Nexus, Parsimony Jackknifer, PHYLIP,
TREECON. A selection of sequences and positions can be made.
