Examples

### Assume the file sample1 and phylo1 have been saved 
### to the R working directory. The phylocom executable 
### file has been copied to the same working directory
### Or could be invoked in console by command lines.
### in order to run phylocom in R, simply copy the 
### following command:
#   i = 1
#   phylocom.comdist(sample = paste("sample",i, sep = ""),  
#                  phylo = paste("phylo",i, sep = ""), 
#                  method = "comdist", aw = TRUE,  
#                  file =  paste("comdist.aw",  i,
#                  ".txt", sep = ""))
