I have a (rather crude) Perl script that will take a Clustal-style
alignment file and split it into individual sequences (keeping the gaps).
If it is of any help then use the (modified) address below to contact me.
It works with Linux and DOS (DJGPP). I haven't tried MacPerl (yet).
I'm not sure what you want with the triplets as unless it is an
obvious ORF the reading frame would be arbitrary and gaps would
screw up frames in individual sequences.
