+RAxML - Randomized Axelerated Maximum Likelihood
+
+RAxML is a program for sequential and parallel Maximum Likelihood (ML)
+based inference of large phylogenetic trees. It can also be used for
+postanalyses of sets of phylogenetic trees, analyses of alignments and,
+evolutionary placement of short reads.
+
+NOTE!
+The script builds single threaded and mpi versions of the executable
+with Slackware's default compiler flags. You are highly encouraged to
+check the script for building with other flags and optimisations. This
+will dramatically speed up RAxML on modern processors.
+
+When using RAxML please cite the following paper: A. Stamatakis:
+"RAxML Version 8: A tool for Phylogenetic Analysis and Post-Analysis of
+Large Phylogenies". In Bioinformatics, 2014
