What format are these cluster files? We don't support any direct
multi-sequence files formats in pregap4 (although we probably ought to) so
regardless of format you'll need to separate them out into multiple files.
There's a fasta2exp program (actually it's an nawk script, so you may need to
edit the first line to change the awk interpreter if it's not in /usr/bin)
that will split the fasta file into multiple experiment files. This doesn't
help matters if you want trace files visible though.
