I suggest that you use the front end GUI GDE from the UMontreal site on
your Unix machine. It provides a good sequence editor that can interconvert
file formats making it easy to go from nexus to phylip. All the phylip
analyses can be done without leaving the editor; it calls the programs and
you can tailor what it does through the .GDEmenu files
