Re: Embassy phylipnew - please use freely licensed source of phylip

Hi Andreas,

This was a restoration of the 6.6.0 release files which had been lost 
when the FTP server was reset, and a correction of the file names which 
should have been .660 on the original FTP server.

The same applies to the other EMBASSY packages.

regards,
