READ_ALIGN - Convert an alignment to PIR format

READ_ALIGN is a utility program that tries to read a file containing information about a multiple sequence alignment, and then to write out the relevant information to another file using the PIR format. The reason for seeking the PIR format is to use the DISTANCES program.
