The only program I am aware of that does this properly is MALIGNED, by
Stephen Clark. Unfortunately it is VMS only as far as I know. There
is a version in the IUBIO archives:
(ftp://iubio.indiana.edu/molbio/vax/maligned_v1_65b.uue)
It's an excellent alignment editor as well, and the only thing I miss
about VMS.
