Synopsis
    use Bio::AlignIO;

format (Kumar and Nei).

next_alncode    nextTop
 Title   : next_aln
Usage : $aln = $stream->next_aln()
Function: returns the next alignment in the stream.
Supports the following MEGA format features:
- The file has to start with '#mega'
- Reads in the name of the alignment from a comment
(anything after '!TITLE: ') .
- Reads in the format parameters datatype
Returns : Bio::Align::AlignI object - returns 0 on end of file
or on error
Args : NONE

 Title   : write_aln
Usage : $stream->write_aln(@aln)
Function: writes the $aln object into the stream in MEGA format
Returns : 1 for success and 0 for error
Args : Bio::Align::AlignI object
