8RNAforester can:
9- calculate a global alignment of RNA secondary structures
10- calculate a local alignments (local similarity) of RNA secondary structures
11- calculate multiple alignments of RNA secondary structures

14The package should be easily portable. It is known to compile without
15modifications at least under Solaris, MacOS, and Linux.
16Other UN*X flavours should present no problems.
17You need a compiler that understands standard C++.
