ClustAl W for trees ?

[Carsten Hohoff]

I have aligned 80 protein sequences with ClustAlW & used the .dnd output
file for display by TreeView. Now a colleague told me that this output file
is NOT appropriate for generating phylogenetic trees.

Is this statement correct ? 

I checked a web manual for ClustAlW / X, but could not find a direct hint on
this subject.

Hoping that someone might give a helpful hint
