[EMBOSS] emma: problem with filename : please help

[ajb at ebi.ac.uk]

Hi,

The first thing to check is the version of CLUSTALW you are using.
The problem you refer to was a bug in an old version of Clustalw.
The EMBOSS code changes suggested/incorporated by some were not
a fix at all (as you've seen). You need to get Clustalw 1.83
