The following URLs (aka links or web sites) have an immense amount of
information on phylogenetic software.  Phylip is free and can
retrieved from Joe Felsenstein's web site.  Among the sites, my own
(entirely objective) position in that Joe's is the most complete.

Hope this helps.

A more direct answer to your question is that info on Phylip can be had ar

http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip

while info on Hennig86 is available from Arnold Kluge or Diana Lipscombe,
whose email addresses are available at

http://www.vims.edu

*note that those people who might not have access to a graphical-capabable
browser should be able to get to these web sites if their UNIX environment
has "lynx".  Type "lynx" at your Unix prompt (ie.., ">"). Lynx implements
hypertext, and if all is well, you can move around on the page using the
TAB button and arrow button.  There are some limitations.
