Has anyone messed with this program much? I've known about it for a while, but never played with it. Wondering if it's worth the effort?

Maybe I was using it wrong (IIRC I had the default setting), but it didn't pass a sanity test, which was get a realistic and consistent date of mixture for early Native American populations.
For reference, in the following models...
EHG = Latvia_Zvejnieke_CCC.SG, Latvia_Zvejnieki_NHG2, Latvia_Zvejnieki_NHG3, Norway_Troms_LNBA_HG.SG, RUS_Arkhangelsk_HG.SG, RUS_Karelia_HG, RUS_Samara_Lebyazhinka_HG, RUS_Samara_Sidelkino_HG.SG
East = RUS_Primorsky_Boisman_MN, RUS_Primorsky_DevilsCave_N.SG, Taiwan_Hanben_IA
Tarim = Tarim_EMBA1
West = EHG + Tarim + MA1 + Yana
Brazil_LapaDoSanto_9600BP
EHG + EAST = 1792 +/- 675
Tarim + EAST = 4318 +/- 1274
WEST + EAST = 2514 +/- 674
