Attached are two files, one written by Mesquite and one written by MacClade. Both should work.

(I just thought of something: nexus files written by Mesquite contain a Mesquite block with instructions that tell Mesquite what to do. In theory, someone could pack the Mesquite block with instructions to perform a heavy analysis or to do something stupid. This might be a security issue -- perhaps we need to take care that Mesquite blocks are ignored by our headless Mesquite.  For example, if the first thing we do after receiving the file is "$text =~ s/$Begin MESQUITE;/Begin DO_NOT_EXECUTE;/ig" that would help to patch this security hole).
