Dear "gc"
I believe you can use Reformat. The GCG manual says:
If you edit hsp70.msf with a text editor to manually
adjust the alignment, you must use Reformat to rewrite
the MSF file so that it can be used with Wisconsin
Package programs by using
% reformat -MSF hsp70.msf{*}
An MSF file with an incorrect checksum (but otherwise correct) would be
the same as one which has been changed with a text editor. Reformat would
assume the sequence characters are meant to be correct and calculate a new
checksum.
