  Description     : Segment-based multiple sequence alignment

 DIALIGN2 is a command line tool to perform multiple alignment of
 protein or DNA sequences. It constructs alignments from gapfree pairs
 of similar segments of the sequences. This scoring scheme for
 alignments is the basic difference between DIALIGN and other global or
 local alignment methods. Note that DIALIGN does not employ any kind of
 gap penalty. It has been published by Morgenstern B. in
 Bioinformatics. 1999 Mar;15(3):211-8.

I will patch the program so that it will use /usr/share/dialign by
default to access the substitution matrices instead of requiring the
user to set an environment variable. Setting it anyway will override the
default value.
