Perhaps you guys should check out ClustalW, the latest version of the Clustal
software. In addition to an improved alignment algorithm (using the
Thompson-Gibson-Higgins weighting method) it has a large number of new output
options. So you can now read in data directly into PHYLIP or TreeDraw, for
example.
URL is file://ftp.embl-heidelberg.de/pub/software/unix/clustalw.tar.Z.
It should also be on ftp.ebi.ac.uk.
