NJPLOT is indeed a lovely simple to use program from Manolo Gouy which
runs on MAC only and produces PICT files from PHYLIP format trees.
It can also read bootstrap information from Clustal W bootstrap
files (*.phb). we include it with Clustal W (for mac) but is
also available on its own from the EMBL file server ....
anonymous ftp to
ftp.ebi.ac.uk
and get file:
/pub/software/mac/njplot.sea.hqx
MANY THANKS to Manolo Gouy for getting us off the hook with regard to
displaying trees on macs.
