# PHYLIP programs and documentation

PHYLIP, the PHYLogeny Inference Package, consists of 34 programs. There are documentation files for each program, in the form of web pages in HTML 3.2. There are also documentation web pages for each group of programs, and a main documentation file that is the basic introduction to the package. Before running any of the programs you should read it.

Below you will find a list of the programs and the documentation files. The names of the documentation files are highlighted as links that will take you to those documentation files.
