Max character length for seq IDs

[Neato-Nick]

VCF allows unlimited character length for sequence IDs, but apparently PHYLIP allows only 10. Would there be a way to force unique character names if the input is longer than 10 characters? Or, at least provide a warning that the output will be invalid?

Also, I got my vcf from graphtyper and the tool is working well!

I think I will add a warning when the names won't adhere to the Strict PHYLIP standard, however most current phylogenetic tools support Relaxed PHYLIP with no problem.

Thanks for the info about graphtyper, I will add it to the README and link it to this Issue

Ah ok, that makes sense. I'm new to this format, I ran into issues using SplitsTree
