PHYLIP Home Page (original) (raw)

A new release of PHYLIP, version 3.698, is now available as source code. This release differs in correcting the consensus tree bug that was recently pointed out, and in its license -- from version 3.696 on, we have had an open source license, so that PHYLIP can be distributed with other software that has commercial licenses or has a restrictive open-source source license. MacOS executables are at version 3.695, with the old license, but I will update them soon.

Note -- recently users of 64-bit Windows systems have had difficulty running the Java front ends for the Drawgram and Drawtree tree-drawing programs. This was because this was 32-bit code. With the version 3.698 executables, we now have a 64-bit distribution available and these should run properly. The 3.695 Windows executables that are 32-bit code is also still available, for people who have older 32-bit Windows systems.
