arMI: analytical residual Mutual Information 
--------------------------------------------
Computation of
- Mutual Information (MI)
- analytical residual Mutual Information (arMI)
- numerical residual Mututal Information (nrMI)
of all pairwise data vectors from a sequence alignment.
The program accepts FASTA alignments as input (--mali),
alternatively a random alignment (--random)
of specified depth (--nseq) and length (--lseq)
is created internally .

All sequences must be of the same length, gap symbols '.' can be included.
The default base set of 27 symbols is represented by ASCII values [64,90]
or synonymously symbols [@,Z], where '@' is the program-internal gap symbol.

The number of sequences must be in the range [2,1755],
deeper alignments will lead to an assertion exception.
