Does the www.dinofest.com website still work?

PAUP 3.1.1 was only available for Macs (I believe), and is no longer
available anyway.  The new PAUP* 4.0 is available through Sinaeur Press
(www.sinaeur.com?), and is avaiable in Windows format.  Only beta-test
versions are now out for this (really improved) software package.

As the name "MacClade" suggests, it is only available for the Macintosh OS.
I believe someone has developed a comparable (NEXUS based) data entry system
for Windows, but I don't think it allows tree manipulation.

You might want to check the Tree of Life and Hennig Society websites (sorry,
don't have those handy) for lots of other phylogenetic software out there
for Windows and DOS.
