I wish to use NONA or Hennig86 through Winclada to perform cladistic analysis based on morpho-cladistics characters of Coleoptera families. I am unable to find the two anywhere. I tried searching for the same but did not come across anything useful. What should I do? Thanks for your help.
Hello Omkar Damle ,
To use NONA or Hennig86 through Winclada for cladistic analysis, you'll need to first download and install Winclada, then obtain NONA and Hennig86, and finally integrate them into the Winclada interface. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:
Download and install Winclada:
You can download Winclada from the following link:
https://teamwildfreaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/winclada.exe
After downloading the installation file, follow the installation instructions to install the software on your computer.
Obtain NONA and Hennig86:
Unfortunately, NONA and Hennig86 are no longer available through their original websites, as the software has been discontinued. However, you may be able to find the software through alternative sources like this:

Integrate NONA and Hennig86 into Winclada:
Once you have obtained NONA and Hennig86, you will need to integrate them with Winclada. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Place the NONA and Hennig86 executables (.exe files) in the same folder as the Winclada executable. This is typically found in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Winclada" folder.
b. Open Winclada, then click on the "Run" menu and select "Configure External Programs."
c. In the "External Program Configuration" window, click the "Add" button.
d. Enter the name of the software (either "NONA" or "Hennig86") in the "Name" field.
e. Click the "Browse" button and navigate to the folder where you placed the NONA or Hennig86 executable. Select the executable and click "Open."
f. Click "OK" to add the program to the list of external programs.
g. Repeat steps c-f for the other software (either NONA or Hennig86).
Now, you should be able to run NONA or Hennig86 through Winclada by selecting the desired software from the "Run" menu.
***********************************************************************
Keep in mind that finding and using discontinued software may be challenging, and it might be worthwhile to explore alternative, more recent software packages for cladistic analysis, such as TNT (Tree analysis using New Technology) or PAUP* (Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony and other methods).

Best Regards,
Thanks a lot for your detailed answer Mr Rizzo, I appreciate the help.
The NONA does not run on my pc due to its incompatibility with 64-bit Windows.
I have tried using TNT but I am facing issues there as well.
Are there any guides or tutorials available for analysis by maximum parsimony using PAUP?
