See PHYLIP documentation (discrete.doc) for a formal definition of this format. flat2phyl is used by GDE to run PHYLIP discrete character programs, such as RESTML, NEIGHBOR, FITCH, KITSCH, DOLLOP, WAGNER etc. -s convert into Phylip sequential format. Default is Phylip interleaved format. -i invert characters, so that 0 -> 1 and 1 -> 0.
