[Bioperl-l] use CLUSTALW on Windows?

[Chris Fields]

I don't recall this being a UNIX-only issue, though admittedly it's  
been years since I've tried running the bioperl-run modules on WinXP.   
I do recall getting BLAST, EMBOSS and others to work though; I don't  
see why ClustalW would be much different.

Have you actually tested this out and found a problem?  Have you tried  
cygwin?
