seaview is the program that starts the SeaView GUI.

       SeaView is a graphical interface for multiple sequence alignment and molecular phylogeny. It is able to
       read various alignment formats (MSF, CLUSTAL, FASTA, PHYLIP, MASE, NEXUS) and the Newick tree format, and
       allows one to manually edit the alignment, to run DOT-PLOT, CLUSTAL or MUSCLE programs to locally improve
       the alignment, and also to compute, draw and edit phylogenetic trees.

       If started from the command line with filename as an argument, seaview will open the alignment or tree
       stored in filename and display/draw it on screen. Filename can be in any of the mase, clustal, phylip,
       msf, fasta, or nexus alignment formats or in the Newick tree format.

$HOME/.seaviewrc holds the user´s configuration for SeaView.

       seaview - a multiplatform, graphical user interface for multiple sequence alignment and molecular
       phylogeny.

-fast
           Suppresses double buffering for display. This should only accelerate display on very slow systems.

       -fontsizen
           Sets the font size to n.

       If you use SeaView in a published work, please cite the following reference: Galtier, N., Gouy, M. and
       Gautier, C. (1996) SeaView and Phylo_win, two graphic tools for sequence alignment and molecular
       phylogeny. Comput. Applic. Biosci., 12, 543-548.

       The program is fully documented online. Press the "help" button in the main window. On Debian systems,
       the text template for SeaView´s help can be found in /usr/share/doc/seaview/seaview.html.

       Two multiple alignment programs can be called from whithin SeaView: muscle(1) and clustalw(1).

       SeaView usees some components of the PHYLIP package, see
