parsimony algorithms

[jeroen witteveldt]

Hello, 

I recently heard somebody say the parimony algorithm PAUP uses is better
than the algorithme Phylip (3.572c) uses. Because I don't own a
Macintosh I 
rather use Phylip then PAUP.  
Can somebody tell me the differences between both programs, especially
the 
differences when using both for bootstrapping? 

Many thanks in advance,
