Hi,

We just discovered (and I verified by going through the source code) that when UGENE imports a clustal 'aln' file it checks the first line for the string "CLUSTAL W". Unfortunately 'clustalx' (the gui front end to 'clustalw') uses the identifier 'CLUSTAL X' here so UGENE imports it but the data gets messed up when it is displayed.
I assume that UGENE could look for simply 'CLUSTAL' in 'aln' files because I assume that either few people use 'clustalv' anymore, or maybe the file format is the same for it anyway. The change I am suggesting is pretty basic and I will probably edit the source and rebuild for my linux and Mac OS X environments but for this student's Window's machine ( ) I don't have a compiler and have no interest in getting one.

Thanks (nice program!)
