DendroMaker for Macintosh

ver. 4.1

August 27, 1998

\----------------------------------------------------------------------------

DendroMaker for Macintosh is a software package for drawing
dendrograms on
Macintosh computers. DendroMaker can draw and edit bifurcating trees
on the
screens. The program DM4 is a program for unrooted trees by
neighbor-joining (NJ) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods (another
program
for rooted trees by UPGMA will be available soon). It can read data
(tree)
files that are written according to the Newick Standard (New Hampshire
Format), which is an actual standard for describing trees in text. It
can
also read data files prepared by using ODEN system (developed by Dr.
Y.
Ina), which is a program package for molecular evolutionary analyses
and is
available on 'supernig' of National Institute of Genetics
(supernig.nig.ac.jp, Mishima, Japan).

DendroMaker for Macintosh version 4 has been improved on many points
in
detail. In particular, a function to save trees in PICT files has been
added. I hope many researchers make use of the DendroMaker for
Macintosh on
various aspects of their research activities.
