Summary	0002465: Cannot open old alignment files with .mas extension on MEGA X
Description	When I try to open old (so far tried on 2006 - 2009) alignment files (with '.mas' extensions) created with older version of MEGA (see attached file as an example), I get a pop-up dialog box that says "Not Yet Implemented" and when I look inside the file that MEGAX opened, there is nothing inside!! No sequences, nothing... I have a large collection of aligned sequences and data. Please advise.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information	I have never had any trouble opening old files in successive versions of MEGA, the last one being MEGA 7.
Tags	No tags attached.
