My version of PAUP for the Mac, version 3.0s, includes the ability to import
data from gcg msf files. Perhaps you should pick up the latest version of PAUP
from the University of Illinois.
The information is:
David L. Swofford
Illinois Natural History Survey
607 E. Peabody Dr.
Champaign, IL 61820
The program is $50.

ps. the program lists DAVESWOF at UIUCVMD.bitnet as Daves address.
