For GCG8 (and GCG7, as I remember), you can use a msf file from PILEUP,
but you have to use the GCG syntax for indicating which sequences from the
msf file you want. For example, if you want all the sequences you would
say:
$ plotsimilarity pileup.msf{*}
It's a great way to scan for regions of similarity vs. differences across
the multiple alignment as a whole.
Good luck!
