+fastDNAml is a program for estimating maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees
+from nucleotide sequences. 
+
+WWW: http://geta.life.uiuc.edu/~gary/programs/fastDNAml.html
+
+fastDNAml is an attempt to solve the same problem as Joseph Felsenstein's
+DNAML, but to do so faster and using less memory, so that larger trees and/or
+more bootstrap replicates become tractable. Much of fastDNAml is merely a
+recoding of the PHYLIP 3.3 DNAML program from PASCAL to C. 
+
+For Felsenstein's phylogenetic analysis softwares, including the latest
+versions of DNAML, visit the PHYLIP Home Page:
