Hi Jim, 

It turns out that the T-Coffee score file format has an extended syntax 
including the residue numbers at the begin and the end of each line. 

This was not supported by my original parser. I've just submitted a patch to 
handle it correctly. 

I'm going to reply to the remaining part of your message in a separate email. 



Cheers,
Paolo
