It being in the Unsupported Division of PHYLIP I can't help you, except to
say that it is said to work a lot better if the REAL variables are
declared as DOUBLE instead.

But ... there is now a new version of PROTML from Adachi and Hasegawa.  It
is in C, and can be obtained by ftp in their package MOLPHY from their
site sunmh.ism.ac.jp (133.58.12.20).  I would suggest you to try that
first.
