I know a freeware software package which allows the
Multiple sequence alignment.

The program is: MACAW
====================================================
Multiple Alignment Construction & Analysis Workbench
====================================================

MACAW is a program for locating, analyzing, and editing blocks of localized 
sequence similarity among multiple seqences and linking them into a 
composite multiple alignment.


FTP DOWNLOADING INSTRUCTIONS

The program is available for the Macintosh and several flavors of 
Microsoft Windows.  All of them may be downloaded from NCBI's anonymous
FTP server ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.  Each version is stored in a seperate
directory.


Hope this helps
