No, not everybody suggested Distances. Because Distances does NOT do the
job! In my previous reply to your posting about this subject I already
suggested the use of HOMOLOGIES, which is part of the EGCG (Extended GCG)
package by Peter Rice et al. This program does everything that Distances
does, but much MORE, like calculating similarities (homologies) in stand
of distances. Moreover, the program can produce output usuable with the
PHYLIP package.
If you don't have EGCG installed on your system, this is perfect time to
have a look at it. It can be FTPed from ftp.sanger.ac.uk. It has many
important additions to the standard GCG package. And you will wonder how
you ever have been able to do without!
