Phylodendron
          an application for phylogenetic tree drawing 
          version 0.8d, beta
          January 1999

Phylodendron is an application for drawing phylogenetic trees, used in
evolutionary biology.  Options allow you to save in various formats, print, 
edit, modify, and adorn the tree. The program reads tree data in Newick
format; it will not create the tree data. Other software such as Phylip, 
Clustal W, and others may be used for this.
Phylodendron is available at

    ftp://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/molbio/java/apps/trees/ 

This version of Phylodendron includes the ability to run as a Web
service. This is not a Java applet, but an HTTP server 
CGI program (server-side application). You will find this at 
    http://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/treeapp/

This version also add the new popular output format of Adobe Portable
Document Format (PDF), a vector graphics format that is well suited to
this, both the application and the server printer, including hypertext
links as an option.

Phylodendron is written as a Java application.   This means that it will
run on most computers. This application is an enhancement of the Mac 
Hypercard program "Tree Draw Deck" written by the author in 1990.

Please read the installation instructions included in phylodendron-doc.html.  
You may need to install a java runtime system for your computer.

Developers will find the source code in the iubio:/molbio/java/source/
folder, as part of the dclap* source. These are not needed to run
the program.
