DendroMaker for Macintosh is a software package for drawing dendrograms on Macintosh computers. DendroMaker can draw and edit bifurcating trees on the screens. The program DM4 is a program for unrooted trees by neighbor-joining (NJ) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods (another program for rooted trees by UPGMA will be available soon). It can read data (tree) files that are written according to the Newick Standard (New Hampshire Format), which is an actual standard for describing trees in text. It can also read data files prepared by using ODEN system (developed by Dr. Y. Ina), which is a program package for molecular evolutionary analyses and is available on 'supernig' of National Institute of Genetics (supernig.nig.ac.jp, Mishima, Japan).
DendroMaker for Macintosh version 4 has been improved on many points in detail. In particular, a function to save trees in PICT files has been added. I hope many researchers make use of the DendroMaker for Macintosh on various aspects of their research activities.
