Received on December 21, 1999 ; revised on February 2, 2000 ; accepted on February 2, 2000

Summary: RadCon is a Macintosh® program for manipulating and analysing phylogenetic trees. The program can determine the Cladistic Information Content of individual trees, the stability of leaves across a set of bootstrap trees, produce the strict basic Reduced Cladistic Consensus profile of a set of trees and convert a set of trees into its matrix representation for supertree construction.

Availability: The program is free and available at http://taxonomy.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~jthorley/radcon/radcon.html.
