tqDist: a library for computing the quartet and triplet distances between binary or general trees

.Summary: tqDist is a software package for computing the triplet and quartet distances between general rooted or unrooted trees, respectively. The program is based on algorithms with running time O(n log n) for the triplet distance calculation and O(d . n log n) for the quartet distance calculation, where n is the number of leaves in the trees and d is the degree of the tree with minimum degree. These are currently the fastest algorithms both in theory and in practice.
