* What is MXSCARNA
 MXSCARNA (Multiplex Stem Candidate Aligner for RNAs) is a tool for
 fast structural multiple alignment of RNA sequences using progressive
 alignment based on pairwise structural alignment algorithm of SCARNA.

* License
 While its original source code is provided as free software, MXSCARNA
 contains the source codes of ProbCons and Rfold and the energy parameters
 of Vienna RNA package (version 1.5).
 The author thanks Dr. Chuong Do, Dr. Hisanori Kiryu and Dr. Ivo Hofacker,
 the authors of ProbCons, Rfold and Vienna RNA package respectively,
 and Institute for Theoretical Chemistry of the  University of Vienna.

 The source code of Rfold is located in ./extensions/mxscarna_src/rfold-0.1, which includes
 energy parameters of Vienna RNA package in ./extensions/mxscarna_src/rfold-0.1/src/vienna.
 Energy parameters of Vienna RNA package are also included in the source
 code of MXSCARNA (./extensions/mxscarna_src/vienna). Please follow ./extensions/mxscarna_src/rfold-0.1/readme.txt
 file, which describes the license of Rfold, and
 ./extensions/mxscarna_src/rfold-0.1/src/vienna/COPYING file and ./extensions/mxscarna_src/vienna/COPYING file,
 which describe the copyright notice of the Vienna RNA package.
 The source code of ProbCons is located in ./extensions/mxscarna_src/probconsRNA. Please follow
 ./extensions/mxscarna_src/probcons/README.
