I just did a clean checkout, and switched to the new Framework target, and
things worked without a hitch.  Check that your target isn¹t the ³old
format² one.

Both, obviously ;).  From what I¹ve seen of many alignment programs, they¹re
pretty processor intensive.  I¹d be willing to sacrifice using the full
sequence classes in order to up the performance.

Could you explain what you need this for?  Be gentle ­ I haven¹t taken a
math course in about 15 years, and I¹m a developmental biologist now.

Well, as the person writing the code, what would you need in order to set
things up?

To ask you another question ­ are there any values that would help you
perform alignments that we could put in the base symbol classes (nucleotide,
amino acid)?

Two things, really ­ contig generation from overlapping sequences, and
multiple alignments of related sequences so that I could generate a nice
looking view of the conservations.  As to what I¹d think about it, I¹m very
excited!
