[R] RAxML using R

[Luigi Marongiu]

Dear Rui,
thanks for the reply. I tried it but there were serious problems with 
the function itself: I can't use it as is because there were different 
error messages according to the parameters passed to it.
Such function has to be re-written on purpose or I should call the RAxML 
function from Linux Shell with some kind of interface.
Best regards
Luigi
