+SeaView is a multiplatform, graphical user interface for multiple 
+sequence alignment and molecular phylogeny. Important features are:
+
+1) SeaView reads and writes various file formats (NEXUS, MSF, 
+   CLUSTAL, FASTA, PHYLIP, MASE, Newick) of DNA and protein sequences 
+   and of phylogenetic trees.
+   
+2) SeaView drives programs muscle or clustalw for multiple sequence 
+   alignment, and also allows to use any external alignment algorithm 
+   able to read and write FASTA-formatted files.
+   
+3) SeaView computes phylogenetic trees by
+	a) parsimony, using PHYLIP's dnapars/protpars algorithm,
+	b) distance, with NJ or BioNJ algorithms on a variety of 
+	   evolutionary distances,
+	c) maximum likelihood, driving program PhyML 3.0.
+	 
+4) SeaView draws phylogenetic trees on screen, PDF or PostScript files
+5) SeaView allows to download sequences from EMBL/GenBank/UniProt 
+   using the Internet.

+Seaview requires fltk as a build depencency, but you need clustalw, 
+PhyML and muscle, which SeaView drives. All of these are available at 
+SlackBuilds.org.
