Hmmm...
MACAW does it's own alignment, and therefore wouldn't need the MSF file
created by GCG (assuming thje MSF file is an alignment, like output from
PILEUP). If this is the case, and you have the files you fed into PILEUP,
just use the GCG program TOFASTA to put the files in fasta format. The
TOFASTA program accepts wildcards in the input filename, thus *.pep would
load all matching files into a single fasta format file (which is what
MACAW needs).
Am I missing something here?
Hope this helps...
