+fastDNAml is a program derived from Joseph Felsenstein's version 3.3 DNAML
+(part of his PHYLIP package). Users should consult the documentation for
+DNAML before using this program.
+
+fastDNAml is an attempt to solve the same problem as 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.
