Hi,
sorry for the late reply. I’m about to finish
my PhD so there is virtually no free time left.
PHI is actually Frederik’s project but is currently
more or less unmaintained. The code is also poorly
documented, so it would cost a lot of work to bring
PHI to a better shape.
In particular, the automatic creation of FeynArts models
from ChPT Lagrangians is not likely to be fixed, since
this always required significant patching of FeynArts that
led to problems elsewhere. Moreover, now there exists the
FeynRules package which is more suitable for that goal.
Some time ago I fixed few minor things in the development
version of FeynCalc. You could install that and see if it solves
your issues. Otherwise I’m afraid that there is not much I can
do now.
Cheers,
Vladyslav

something painful obvious).
