I think there is only one multi-threaded version of clustalw (1.81) - it
is done by SGI and available only in binary form, runs only on SGI IRIX
and their iron. My version was tested on SunOS/solaris, Compaq Tru64,
Linux on ia64, alpha and x86 and on SGI IRIX. Dont have the speed
comparisons between my version and SGI's though.

Thanks,
Ognen
