Rainer Wetzel and Daniel Huson have developed a MAC software
package for phylogenetic analysis, going beyond the
normal tree construction and analysis by employing the "Split Decomposition"
technique developed by A. Dress and H.-J. Bandelt.

  A New Technique to Analyse Viral Evolution. } PNAS 90, 10320--4 (1993)

  Approach to Phylogenetic Analysis of Distance Data.} Mol. Phylogenetics
  and Evolution 1, 242--252 (1992)
