parentUpdate MASTER_SITES. (diff)
- Update to version 3.6.a2.1 - since the distribution tarball hadn't been
renamed between versions, this port failed checksum. - Apply some whitespace edits and cut pkg-descr down to size to placate portlint. Reported by: Jason Stajich <jason@chg.mc.duke.edu> Approved by: No response from MAINTAINER

-The programs are controlled through a menu, which asks the users which
-options they want to set, and allows them to start the
-computation. The data are read into the program from a text file,
-which the user can prepare using any word processor or text editor
-(but it is important that this text file not be in the special format
-of that word processor -- it should instead be in "flat ASCII" or
-"Text Only" format). Some sequence analysis programs such as alignment
-programs can write data files in the PHYLIP format. Most of the
-programs look for the data in a file called "infile" -- if they do not
-find this file they then ask the user to type in the file name of the
-data file.

-Output is written onto special files with names like "outfile" and

-PHYLIP is the most widely-distributed phylogeny package, and competes
