I made a mistake in my earlier announcement about getting PHYLIP 3.2 via anonymous ftp. You type "anonymous" rather than "ftp" in response to the "Login" or "Name" prompt that ftp gives you. Here is a corrected version of the announcement: Anyone with an INTERNET connection can now get Joe Felsenstein's PHYLIP 3.2 (a package of computer programs for inferring phylogenies) using "anonymous ftp". This distribution contains only documentation files and PASCAL source code; you will have to compile your own executables. Here's how to get it: 1) Make sure you have enough room for PHYLIP on your system. The archive that you will download is a 648 Kilobyte file, and it unpacks into a directory tree that occupies 2133 Kilobytes. Thus, to unpack PHYLIP you will need at least 648+2133=2781 K of disk storage. 2) Use your local system's version of FTP to connect to arsun.utah.edu (if your system says it has never heard of arsun.utah.edu, try the number 128.110.192.93 instead). 3) In response to the "Name" or "Login" prompt, type "anonymous". In response to the "password:" prompt, type your last name. 4) Give the appropriate command to tell ftp that the data will be binary (on my system you type "binary"). 5) Tell ftp to get the file pub/phylip.tar.Z (on my system you type "get pub/phylip.tar.Z". 6) Get out of ftp. 7) Create a new directory, and move phylip.tar.Z into it. 8) Unpack the archive. If you have pdtar (Public Domain TAR), you can do this by typing "pdtar zxvf phylip.tar.Z" on my unix system. If you don't have pdtar, but are using unix, try typing "zcat phylip.tar.Z | tar xvf -". If this doesn't work, consult your local guru. 9) Send mail to Joe Felsenstein telling him that you have PHYLIP 3.2. His email addresses are: BITNET: FELSENST@UWALOCKE FELSENST@LOCKE.HS.WASHINGTON.EDU joe%genetics.washington.edu@CUNYVM joe%genetics.washington.edu@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Internet: joe@genetics.washington.edu UUCP: uw-beaver!uw-entropy!uw-evolution!joe You can reace me via INTERNET at either rogers@arsun.utah.edu or an.rogers@science.utah.edu Alan Rogers Department of Anthropology University of Utah Salt Lake City, UT 84112 (801) 581-5529
