Thanks Peter!

I'm also using version 2.1. I didn't check the -help, only the homepage
where they say "Default value is: Aln w/numbers [aln1]", which confused
me...
Thanks for mentioning Clustal Omega, I didn't know that say changed the
names.
Stefanie

I have version 2.1 installed and the default output format is traditional
Clustal output with no residue/base numbers (according to -help).

Which version of ClustalW2 are you using?

I'm expecting we'll need a new wrapper for Clustal Omega (I don't know
why they didn't call it Clustalw v3).

We'll probably also need to update Clustalw parser to cope with base/residue
numbering in the output as well.
