(ADAMO.DVI) Published References: ADAMO, collected papers -- A set of application papers (printed document available from Francoise Jacot, JACOTF@VXCERN.CERN.CH) Abstract: ADAMO is a system for scientific programming based on the Entity-Relationship model. It was developed in Aleph, to support an experiment-wide strategy for data organisation. ADAMO offers: - a strategy for data design, using diagrams and a data definition language: - automatic documentation: - data operators, and code generation for FORTRAN, C and other languages: - a data storage mechanism suitable for event data, calibration, etc. - interactive access to data. FORTRAN is well suited to writing algorithms, but its simple data structures are inadequate. Memory managers try to overcome this problem but they are clumsy and dangerous. Other programming languages provide data structures but no operators. ADAMO uses a form of the Entity-Relationship model and allows data to be represented as a diagram. The programmer specifies objects, their attributes and relationships, and operates on them with a subroutines package. INSERT, DELETE, REPLACE, COUNT, FETCH, SELECT, RELATE, NAVIGATE etc. are performed symbolically to avoid data corruption. Central to ADAMO is a data dictionary from which the data structures for the program and documentation for the programmer are generated. Tables can be moved between a storage medium and memory, and also to and from a relational database (ORACLE). All data operations can be carried out interactively with a tool combining PAW with ADAMO.

Journal of Modern Physics C, 2 papers, in press. Intl. Journal of High Speed Computing, in press. See Also: APESE, ZZ Abstract: APE-100 is a SIMD parallel computer for generally local and homogeneous problems, as known from QCD, fluid dynamics and neural systems: developped by I.N.F.N. Rome/Italy, the APE-100 is produced and sold by Alenia Spazio under the name 'Quadrics'. The Quadrics has a fantastic price/performance ratio, is equipped with an extendable architecture and truly 'cool' (runs without own cooling and very stable). Currently, it permits only one user at a time and needs SUN workstations for program development. The Quadrics comes with an own language for parallel programming, TAO, which has a Fortran flavor, and an underlying compiler language, ZZ, which allows for the use of object-oriented programming techniques due to an extendible language syntax. There are existing program libraries for applications in QCD, Complex Systems (Neural Nets), and Fluid Dynamics.

Intl. Journal of High Speed Computing, in press See Also: APE-100, ZZ Abstract: APESE is a parallel language for the APE family of SIMD parallel computers. With the commercialization of the APE-100 under the name 'Quadrics', the APESE language is called TAO. The Zz compiler language allows to enlarge the APESE language syntax and make use of advanced object-oriented categories. APESE/TAO has a strong Fortran flavor, mellowed by C ingredients. Fortran or C programmers can learn it in very short time and program the parallel computer without problem, concentrating on their application. The documentation is being improved a lot currently.

It gives the user a simple set of commands to get, store, process, and list papers with minimal effort: When reading an abstract listing in emacs, either in one of the mail readers or as a previously saved file (output by Unix Mail perhaps), placing the point (cursor) anywhere in the abstract of choice, and typing: `M-x get-paper' automatically opens an ftp socket into the right archive, transfers the paper, uncompresses it if necessary, and loads it into a `tex-mode' buffer for [La]TeXing, previewing, and printing by the usual `tex-mode' facilities. First though, the Atavachron performs a number of tests to determine the format in which the paper is stored at the archive. Once its format is determined, appropriate action is taken. This includes automatic extraction of appended 'PostScript' figures, unpacking uuencoded figures or data files, untarring compressed packages, and executing shell scripts. The following paper formats are supported: Single TeX File, TeX File with Several Appended 'PostScript' Figures, Shell Scripts, Tar Files. Multiple Archive Files for a Paper: UUENCODED Auxillary Files (Figures, Data, etc.): or NON-UUENCODED Files (concatenation papers). Version 2.0 (due May 1993) includes Atavamode.el, a major mode for viewing an abstract listing which gives single keytroke functions for browsing, summarizing, getting papers, etc. Its functionality is loosely that of rmail, treating abstracts as messages. It autoloads atavachron.el upon need, eliminating the necessity to load the larger atavachron package in .emacs.

Sci. 36 (1989) p14. There are several other references to CALOR89, but this one in particular is an excellent introduction. Unix Version 5.3 contains exactly the same physics but is set up for much easier use. Abstract: The CALOR89 - Unix Version 5.3 radiation transport simulation package has been developed at the University of Mississippi. This package, which has been designed specifically for ease of use on Unix platforms, is a modification of the original CALOR89 package developed at Oak Ridge. The hadronic shower part of the code has been combined into one program so the package can run faster, with a tiny fraction of the disk space that is required for other versions of CALOR89, and with much less attention from the user during execution of the program. Both combinatorial geometry and slab geometry packages (much faster for slab configurations) are included. The three primary radiation transport codes are HETC88, which uses an intermediate-energy intranuclear-cascade evaporation model (E < 3 GeV), a scaling model (3 GeV < E < 5-15 GeV), and FLUKA87 (E > 5-15 GeV): MORSE, a multi-group stochastic code which transports neutrons with energies below 20 MeV (this analysis includes time dependence): and EGS4, which is used to transport the electromagnetic component of the shower of HETC and any gammas generated during the neutron transport of MORSE. A program is included to incorporate energy loss due to recombination and saturation effects using Birk's law. Freehep Name: CALTECH-II Date: April 17, 1992 Author(s): T. D.

Fischler et. al., Nucl Phys B (proc. Suppl) 9(1989)571-576. See Also: MAKECONFCHUNK, QUARK Abstract: Canopy is a concept-oriented tool set designed for exploring algorithms in lattice gauge theory: it is applicable to many other scientific grid-oriented applications as well. The aim is to provide a way to express the obvious parallelism of algorithms in terms of concepts familiar to the scientist -- thus making the program clearer and easier to create, while automating massively parallel implementation. Concepts supported include those of the grid and sites (with directions and neighbors), fields over sites, and tasks performed on grids or subgrids. Canopy is implemented as a library of routines written in ANSI C. For ease in porting to various parallel systems, it is built upon a small interface package modeling interprocessor memory access.

A significant part of this package is CLEO specific. The CLEO collaboration has used CMZ for four years. It will be using cvs in the future. Car2cvs was written to help convert the code library. Each HEP experiment maintains its code library in its own way and therefore car2cvs program may not work. However I think it is a good example for helping a collaboration move to cvs, if it decides to do so. You may modify car2cvs to suit your experiment. Car2cvs is known to compile on the following platforms.

(Preprint can be ftp'ed from heplib.slac.stanford.edu in pub/preprints.) Abstract: Cheetah is a data management system based on the C programming language, with support for other languages. Its main goal is to transfer data between memory and I/O streams in a general way. The streams are either associated with disk files or are network data streams. Cheetah provides optional convenience functions to assist in the management of C structures. Cheetah streams are self-describing so that general purpose applications can fully understand an incoming stream. This information can be used to display the data in an incoming stream to the user of an interactive general application, complete with variable names and optional comments.

Discription of CLiP in ftp://sun01.info.wau.nl/clip Published References: In preparation See Also: CWEB,FWEB,NOWEB Abstract: The CLiP approach to literate programming is unique in that it is based on programming style rather than explicit commands. CLiP triggers on pseudostatements written as a special style of comments. This comment style is easily adapted to the language of your choice. Thus you can use CLiP in combination with any programming language and with any documentation system which supports a decent ASCII-export. It should also be possible to integrate CLiP with a hypertext environment, but no such experiment has yet been performed. CLiP's simplicity and extreme flexibility exclude the option of generating fully automatically a X-ref list of program identifiers. Such a list should be produced through the index facility of the documentation system involved.

It also formats the code by indenting the bodies of DO-loops and IF-blocks by ISHIFT columns. Statement keywords are followed if necessary by a blank, and blanks within tokens are are suppressed: this handling of blanks is optional. If a CONTINUE statement terminates a single DO loop, it is replaced by END DO. Procedure END statements have the procedure name added, if blanks are handled. Statements like INTEGER*2 are converted to INTEGER(2), if blanks are handled. Depending on the target processor, a further global edit might be required (e.g. where 2 bytes correspond to KIND=1). Typed functions and assumed-length character specifications are treated similarly. The length specification *4 is removed for all data types except CHARACTER, as is *8 for COMPLEX. This treatment of non-standard type declarations includes any non-standard IMPLICIT statements. Optionally, interface blocks only may be produced: this requires blanks processing to be requested. The interface blocks are compatible with both the old and new source forms.

Abstract: CTool is a software package that allows you to do clustering and to find optimal clustering for particular physics topics in particular detectors. In order to do this, you have to use other software packages (listed below) that allows you to make an abstract representation of your detector and to create events in a standard form. In the process of doing this, you will also gain access to a useful set of analysis operations and to a 3D event display. From your point of view, all of this can be accomplished by executing commands at a terminal session or by using the SciAn GUI to view events. The major software components are: DETECTOR: This package allows you to create and manipulate detectors created from a simple ascii input format. SIMPLEEVENTS: Allows you to make simple events from another simple ascii format. This is useful for trying out the software. ESET: Output events are Types objects called 'eSets' which you can think of a 'super n-tuples' supporting a rich set of analysis operations. For more information, see the eSet help entry. If you need to make more detailed events than in 'SimpleEvents', eSet has a simple f77 interface for making eSets directly. EVENTDISPLAY: Given events in the form of eSets and a 'Detector' from the Detector packge, EventDisplay adds attributes to the eSets that contain event display information. These attributes can be extracted into 'neutral file format' (NFF) and viewed with the SciAn visualization package. EventDisplay automatically adjusts itself for operations done on it's input eSets. For example, if clustering is done using CTool, energies in the same cluster will be given the same color. GEANT2NFF: Allows you to extract volumes from standard GEANT geometries and import them into the event display. CTOOL: Allows clustering of 'depositions' and finds the optimal clustering for finding distinguished sets of depositions that you are interested in (e.g. depositions from electrons vs. depositions from other sources). SCIAN: This is a particularly easy to use general purpose visualization package written by Eric Pepke, Jim Lyons and John Murray (the SCRI graphics group). It requires the 'GL' graphics library which basically means a Silicon Graphics (preferably) or an IBM rs/6000 workstation. See 'FreeHEP' to get this (free) software. If you are a member of D0, two packages have been prepared that simplify the use of this software: ED0: eD0 uses zHist and VF to automatically produce eSets from standard D0 Zebra files. D0DETECTORS: Consists of a collection of 'Detector' objects representing various useful pieces of D0. Except for SciAn, the rest of this software runs on IBM/AIX, SUN/SUNOS, Silicon Graphics/IRIX, DEC/VMS(VAX or Alphas) and DEC/Ultrix. A good way to get started is to go through the tutorial provided as part of this help system. If you have problems, questions or comments, please send them to youssef@scri.fsu.edu.

Published References: D.E. Knuth, Literate Programming (Center for the Study of Language and Information, Leland Standard Junior University, 1992) See Also: FWEB,TEX,NOWEB Abstract: The philosophy behind CWEB is that programmers who want to provide the best possible documentation for their programs need two things simultaneously: a language like TeX for formatting, and a language like C for programming. Neither type of language can provide the best documentation by itself. But when both are appropriately combined, we obtain a system that is much more useful than either language separately.

Published References: To appear in the CHEP 92 conference proceedings. See Also: Types Abstract: dParallel allows coarse grain parallel function evaluation using Types objects to represent input and output sets. Unlike many other systems, dParallel introduces no new syntax other than a single subroutine call supplying an input set, an external subroutine and returning an output set. The single call transparently takes care of launching remote processes, message passing, load balancing, synchronization, error recovery etc. Source code with dParallel calls can be linked to the standard Types library and then run either serially (e.g. for debugging) or run in parallel. A single executable image serves as the serial version of the program, the parallel supervisor and the parallel remote tasks. dParallel will be available in the next distribution of Types.

Events are generated in relativistic kinematics, using non-relativistic reaction cross-sections from the literature, either in analytical or in tabular form. These cross sections are convoluted with the momentum distributions of the beam particle and the target nucleon(s) on an event by event basis, resulting in events with absolutely normalized probabilities and correct statistical behavior. The events can be subjected to angular- or energy acceptance cuts and to a multiplicity cut, reducing the number of events, generated in PAW-compatible N-tuple format for further analysis.

Freehep Name: FEYN Date: Nov. 1995 Title: Drawing Feynman Diagrams using PAW Author(s): Mario Stipcevic Contact: stipcevic@vxcern.cern.ch Subject Areas: heptheory, graphics_vis_gui Bug Reports to: stipcevic@vxcern.cern.ch Software Needed: CERNLIB Access: http://nomadinfo.cern.ch/~stipy/feyn/feyn.html Abstract: FEYN is my own device for drawing nice Feynman graphs and related intuitive pictures, which relies on PAW. The stress is on the quality of picture and ease of use. It consists of set of macros which draw simple objects such as fermion, scalar, photon, gluon ... and loops or half-loops . To get a picture you have to create a macro written in FEYN metalanguage and execute it under PAW. Of course, once the picture is drawn on the graphic HIGZ screen, you can convert it to PostSctipt or Encapsulated PostScript in the usual way. Examples and the manual are provided with the package.

(*) Your application is restricted to one whose main data stream is sequential and consists of independent events. funnel is made public primarily to promote the ideas which have made it successful. An implementation for the ZEUS Detector Simulation Monte Carlo, Mozart, runs in parallel on 40 DECstations and produces 30,000 full GEANT simulation events (3Gbytes) per day. Mozart/funnel has only parasitic use of these workstations, which serve regular interactive users, yet it survives in this harsh environment where, for reasons external to Mozart/funnel, machines may crash or run out of swap space, disks fill to 100%, ethernet may go down, ... , but Mozart/funnel simply continues on the remaining machines. In addition to funnel, the implementation required only a modified version of the unix shell script which runs Mozart on a single machine, a few shell scripts for administration, and a simple utility to chop Mozart's data stream into events. Mozart itself was no modified! In addition to particle physics event simulation and reconstruction, funnel's approach may provide easy distributed processing to applications in disciplines such as computational chemistry or astrophysics. funnel can help harness any idle processing power, about 1GFlop/30 workstations, on the unix machines in your lab. or department. funnel's technique may also be a useful starting point when operating a farm of unix machines. Freehep Name: FWEB Version: 1.30a Date: June 1993 Title: FWEB System of Structured Software Design and Documentation for C, C++, Fortran, Ratfor and TeX Author(s): John A.

Published References: D.E. Knuth, Literate Programming (Center for the Study of Language and Information, Leland Standard Junior University, 1992) See Also: CWEB,TEX,NOWEB Abstract: The philosophy behind the WEB programming system is that programmers who want to provide the best possible documentation for their programs need two things simultaneously: a language like TeX for formatting, and a language for programming. Neither type of language can provide the best documentation by itself. But when both are appropriately combined, we obtain a system that is much more useful than either language separately. FWEB is a substantial extension of CWEB: it supports C, C++, Fortran, Fortran90, Ratfor, and TeX: it runs on most platforms: VMS, PC, UNIX, and pretty much anything that the GNU C compiler (GCC) is supported for. Further, FWEB can process code written in multiple languages. It has got a C-like built-in macro preprocessor and can directly translate Ratfor into Fortran. Sample files are available on the freeHEP server and in the FWEB distribution. Freehep Name: GAMS Date: April 1994 Title: GAMS: Guide to Available Mathematical Software Author(s): Ronald F.

It is written in C++ and uses OSF/Motif and X for the user interface parts. GINA++ comes as a library of C++ classes, 10 small to medium demo applications, and it is fully documented. Components of GINA++ are: (1) A C++ encapsulation of OSF/Motif providing easy-to-use mechanisms for deriving new widget classes completely in C++, (2) Support for object-oriented graphics (rectangles, arrows, circle, etc), (3) An unlimited undo/redo history mechanism, (4) supporting classes for data structures (list, arrays, etc), run-time type information, and a notification mechanism. The classes of GINA++ constitute an executable program - the generic application - which possesses the basic functionality and the user interface components common to all interactive graphical applications, but lacks any application-specific behavior. New applications are constructed according to the object-oriented software development paradigm: The predefined functionality and behavior is inherited by deriving subclasses from the existing GINA++ classes. Application specific behavior is implemented by adding new classes and member functions. Differences to the standard application are coded by refining virtual member functions inherited from GINA++.

A n-tuple is a table of data with a fixed number of columns and a (perhaps large) number of rows. HippoDraw can create histograms and plots which are projections of the n-tuple's columns. In HippoDraw you can also do some analysis on your data. For example, you can plot data only if data in some column fits with in range, i.e. a cut. Any number of cuts can be applied to plot, and a given cut can be applied to any number of plots. You can also add new columns to your data interactively. This is done via a dynamically loaded C function. HippoDraw provides you with a template for this function. With HippoDraw, one can also plot functions over histograms and x-y displays. There's also a built in minimization program, Minuit, to get the best fit function to the data. You can dynamically link in your own custom plot functions. HippoDraw is also a drawing program. The plots are just drawing objects. The drawing code was taken from /NextDeveloper/Examples/Draw. Everything in HippoDraw is controlled via the GUI: there are no commands and no scripts. The drawing document contains the analysis, so there's no need for command scripts. HippoDraw contains built-in help, so there is no separate users manual. HippoDraw uses the Hippoplotamus package (or Hippo for short ) for managing the n-tuple data and creating the plots. This package is written in ANSI C, thus is portable. It also writes its binary files to files using SUN's XDR format, so the data is portable as well. That is, the binary file can be read either Motorola or Intel based machines. A plain text format exists as well (see help). Its display package has support for X-Windows, PostScript, and Unix Plot as well as Display PostScript. All but the main program and the main application nib file are contained in an Interface Builder bundle. Thus HippoDraw can be incorporated into other applications that perhaps generate or use the n-tuple data. Contact the authors if you are interested in this.

The management part is designed to be user friendly and also has a FORTRAN binding. Binary files use the XDR format so binary ftp can be done between machines of different architectures. Files can also converted from or to a plain text format and from HBOOK4 format with supplied utilities. The display package can produce histograms, scatter plots, grey or color density plots, and x-y plots. It is designed to be friendly to one who implements an interactive application for visualizing the n-tuple data. Drivers for Display Postscript, X11, InterViews, UNIXPlot, line printer and PostScript printer are supplied. Hippoplotamus has been tested on NeXT, SUN, RS/6000, Ultrix, SGI, VAX/VMS, and VM/CMS.

Abstract: The data management system Jazelle has been created as a successor to earlier HEP data managers such as YBOS and ZEBRA. While it has many similarities with these systems, it also has many enhancements such as self-documenting data descriptions, mnemonic access to all data, relational data structures, powerful machine-independent IO facilities, including network IO, and many mechanisms for presenting data to the physicist in an intuitive manner. The emphasis has been on producing a powerful, user friendly, data management system which can be accessed from many languages as a natural extension of those languages.

Geometry descriptions are via the surface- based MCNP method. Hadronic interactions are handled with either the Bertini (HETC implementation) or the ISABEL codes. All photons are written to a file for processing with EGS4. Neutrons with kinetic energies less than 20 MeV are written to a file for further processing with the library based MCNP monte carlo code. The user may choose between the ORNL and Rutherford-Appelton fission models. The Fermi breakup model may replace the standard evaporation code for light nuclei. An optional multistage preequilibrium exciton model may be used between the INC and evaporation phases in nuclear interactions. Alternative level density parameter- izations may be chosen, and a library of calculated neutron elastic scattering data is provided. A standard analysis program is also supplied. Code output can be formatted for input into the CINDER90 activation code. Freehep Name: LASPE Date: Oct. 25, 1991 Title: Generating straggling distributions for electrons/positrons. Author(s): D.F.

Box 869, Santa Barbara, CA 93102-0869 Published References: in The LaTeX Companion, Addison-Wesley Co., Inc. Abstract: The previous version of LaTeX was known as LaTeX 2.09. Over the years many extensions have been developed for LaTeX. This had one unfortunate result: incompatible LaTeX formats came into use at different sites. LaTeX2e has been produced to bring all such extensions back under a single format and thus prevents the pro- liferation of mutually incompatible dialects of LaTeX 2.09.

In addition, it offers an easy migration towards authoring complex hypermedia documents using familiar word-processing concepts. LaTeX2HTML replicates the basic structure of a LaTeX document as a set of interconnected HTML files which can be explored using automatically generated navigation panels. The cross- references, citations, footnotes, the table of contents and the lists of figures and tables, are also translated into hypertext links. Mathematical equations and figures are converted to images which are placed automatically at the correct positions in the final HTML document.

Abstract: A Monte Carlo program to simulate complete events in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering. The parton level interaction is based on the standard model electroweak cross sections, which are fully implemented in leading order for any lepton of arbitrary polarization, and different parametrizations of parton density functions can be used. First order QCD matrix elements for gluon radiation and boson-gluon fusion are implemented and higher order QCD radiation is treated using parton showers. Hadronization is performed using the Lund string model. Freehep Name: LESKO Date: April 17, 1992 Title: LESKO Author(s): S.

This has been used to generate 100 configurations each on 16**3 by 32 and 24**3 by 48 lattices. The program has several options, the key ones being: O_SIZE versus O_SPEED -- the speed-optimized version computes at the start the full addresses for all fields needed routinely at each link update: the size-optimized version (which is typically used) computes the addresses at run time, doing move_site if necessary. The other key option is chunking versus not: Chunking would split a 16**4 lattice into 16 cubes of shape 8*8*8*8 if 16 nodes were used, rather than 16 slices of shape 1*16*16*16. Chunking is beneficial when it can be done: in production, this option is chosen, so it is plausible that the non-chunking version is not present. Freehep Name: MAPLE Version: 5 Rel. 1.

Each ``phrase'' should be an (unordered) set of one or more words which you would hope to see occurring together in the same sentence in documents returned by the search. Words you would like to see in the same document but not necessarily in the same sentence should be put in different phrases. The search process attempts to find documents containing all your phrases, but it may also provide links to searches for fewer phrases provided the number of documents involved is not too large. Words are reduced to a stem by removal of common suffices before searching is performed, so in general you need not worry about singular versus plural and other grammatical distinctions. Overly frequent words and stems are ignored. The search is not case-sensitive.

Many functions are built into the package and it is easy for the user to add new ones. Fitting of 1-D and 2-D histograms is possible, and you can also fit several histograms simultaneously and apply constraints on the function parameters. Likelihood fitting is built-in and can also take into account limited Monte Carlo statistics. Hardcopies of pictures can easily be made with a quality suitable for publication. Mn_Fit can also be used purely as a plotting package without using the fitting.

It supports these formats on both input and output: * HBOOK Row-wise Ntuples (RWN) * HBOOK Column-wise Ntuples (CWN) * hippo (hippoplotamus/HippoDraw) ntuples * formatted text It can do these things to any of these formats: * Merge * Truncate and skip events * Convert to another format! * Apply a cut, with a C-function * Generate a new ntuple with new variables, with a C-function * Generate a template struct for use with the C-functions. Cut functions and Output function are written in C (FORTRAN is prohibited :), and are automatically dynamically compiled and linked. The functions are passed a 'vector' representing an input row, and must pass back a new 'vector' representing the output row. Since the functions are written and compiled in real C (not a close approximation like COMIS), they are quite flexible. nfilt has been tested on Sun4.1.3, NeXT, and SGI/IRIX. It may work on Alpha/OSF and Ultrix soon. Freehep Name: NLLJET Version: 1.x (02/01/90) Date: April 17, 1992 Title: NLLjet Author(s): K. Kato T.

Its primary advantages are simplicity, extensibility, and language-independence. NOWEB uses 4 control sequences to WEB's 27 (*), and its manual is only two pages. NOWEB works ``out of the box'' with any programming language, and its formatter-dependent part is under 50 lines. The only sacrifice relative to WEB (also FWEB and CWEB) is the loss of the language-dependent features of pretty-printing. With version 2.6, NOWEB has an HTML frontend to work with the Latex2html translator updated - WEB goes WWW! (*) WEB was the first literate programming by D.E.Knuth for Pascal.

Abstract: OCTAGON takes DXF files generated by AutoCAD or VersaCAD, reconstructs a 3-d model and reduces the model to a tree of boxes with a chosen resolution. This tree of boxes can then be absorbed into any standard GEANT geometry. OCTAGON is suitable for absorbing one or a few CAD objects into an existing GEANT representation of a detector. A typical application is to absorb a CAD system defined support structure for a drift chamber. OCTAGON is not designed to translate entire detectors from AutoCAD to GEANT. OCTAGON includes an interface to the SciAn visualization package. v 1.03 includes new graphics commands. Freehep Name: OLDBAB Date: April 17, 1992 Title: e+e- simulation Author(s): F. Berends R.

Optica utilizes the extensive mathematical and programming capabilities of Mathematica and offers a completely customizable and extensible design environment for scientists, engineers, and researchers. Optica's features include advanced 3D ray-tracing, standard and customizable optical components, the ability to set parameters symbolically, and publication-quality graphics. Optica provides the user with extensive libraries of lenses, mirrors, prisms, gratings, pinholes, screens, optical fibers, and many other customizable components. Surfaces can be defined as spherical, parabolic, cylindrical, elliptical, and more. Source code is included so that users can examine components or ray-tracing functions and modify or extend them for their own use. Users can also use specially provided functions to create new components as needed. This makes it possible to design, model, and analyze an infinite number of optical system alternatives in Optica. Optica Users Benefit from Mathematica's Programming and Calculation Capabilities Mathematica's hundreds of functions for numeric and symbolic equation-solving, visualization and animation capabilities, and high-level programming language give Optica a tremendous advantage over currently available software for optical system design. In addition to Mathematica's built-in mathematical operations, its friendly user interface lets the user combine text, calculations, 2D and 3D graphics, and animation in a single document that can be used to track work in progress or to create technical reports. Also, the Mathematica interface lets users create publication-quality documents with graphics that are ideal for blueprints. Optica is available for all platforms that support versions of Mathematica with the notebook front end. These include: Microsoft Windows: Windows NT: Macintosh: Power Macintosh: Sun SPARC: Solaris: Silicon Graphics: Hewlett-Packard 700 Series: DEC MIPS: OSF/1AXP: IBM RISC System/6000: and NEXTSTEP. Optica requires Mathematica 2.2. Optica graphics can be rendered and printed in PostScript. Optica can be purchased from Wolfram Research.

It is based on Internet mail protocols (e.g. RFC-822, SMTP, IMAP, and MIME) and currently runs on a variety of UNIX platforms. The guiding principles for achieving ease-of-use in Pine were: careful limitation of features, one-character mnemonic commands, always-present command menus, immediate user feedback, and high tolerance for user mistakes. It is intended that Pine can be learned by exploration rather than reading manuals. Feedback from the University of Washington community and a growing number of Internet sites has been encouraging. A stand-alone version of Pico, Pine's message composition editor, is also available. It is a very simple and easy to use text editor with text justification and a spelling checker. FEATURES - Mail index showing a message summary which includes the status, sender, size, date and subject of messages. - View and process mail with the following commands: forward, reply, save, export, print, delete, capture address and search. - Address book for saving long complex addresses and personal distribution lists under a nickname. - Multiple folders and folder management screen for filing messages. - Message composer with easy-to-use editor and spelling checker. The message composer also assists entering and formatting addresses and provides direct access to the address book. - Online help specific to each screen and context. - Supports access to remote mail repositories via the IMAP2 protocol defined in RFC-1176. - Support for multipart mail conforming to proposed MIME (RFC-1341) Internet standard. This allows attachments to mail messages such as graphices (GIF, TIFF...), sounds, and other files such as spread sheets and binary files. - Work is well underway to port Pine to MS-DOS.

It's predecessor was the m4-based 'Argonne macros' system described in the Holt, Rinehart, and Winston book mentioned above. The current p4 system maintains the same basic computational models described there while signif- icantly increasing ease and flexibility of use. p4 is a package of procedures that support development of parallel programs that are portable across a wide variety of architectures. For the shared-memory model of parallel computation, p4 provides a set of primi- tives from which monitors can be constructed, as well as a set of useful monitors. For the distributed- memory model, p4 provides typed send and receive operations, and creation of processes according to a text file describing files to be executed on by created processes and the machines to execute them on.

Actually, there are many options in this single program, selecting on both some physics considerations (addition of a 'sigma' term for next-nearest-neighbor lattice corrections) and on which method you wish used for the operator inversion. A wide selection of methods and pre-conditioning strategies is implemented. The program without the sigma terms was used to invert the 16**3 by 32 lattices generated early on: the theorists are now poised to invert the 24**3 by 48 configurations which have been massaged by a 'gauge-fixing' program for physics reasons -- the decision as to which method will run fastest has not yet been made.

All you need to do is to set up a small product description to let salad create (copy and configure customisation), check, install, pack (into tar file or onto tape), put (to ftp server), update (from ftp server) or unpack (from tar file or from tape) a product. The base syntax is 'salad -product ProductName -target HostName: -WhatToDo'. This holds for all products for all supported platforms as there are AIX, DomainOS, HP-UX, IRIX, SunOS, ConvexOS and ULTRIX with secure job execution for all hardware types and release levels. With salad you may act from any machine type to any other with automatic recognition of binary compliance of files and target system. Although salad is a general purpose file handling tool the primary intention to write this tool was to set up a stand-alone workstation support from the DESY computer center and to manage the distribution of files and binaries within a heterogenous workstation environment.

Or, in version 1.1, you can just invoke sd-load.tcl directly: it will include sd_load.tcl itself if need be. A binary is available for SunOS 4.1.3, the only platform I have conveniently available to me. I will make binaries available for other platforms if they are supplied to me. To use, put something similar to the following in your ~/.mailcap : application/x-sd: sd-launch %s William C.

SVLIB widgets are macro- widgets comprising lower level Motif widgets such as buttons, scrollbars, menus, and drawing areas. It is designed to address the reusability of 2D visualization routines and each widget in the library is an encapsulation of a specific visualization technique such as colormap manipulation, image display, and contour plotting. It is targeted to run on UNIX workstations supporting OSF/Motif. Currently, only color monitors are supported. Since SVLIB is a collection of widgets developed in the same spirit as the OSF/Motif user interface widget set, it integrates seamlessly with the Motif widgets. Programmers using SVLIB widgets see the same interface and design as other Motif widgets. Cost: $200USD for academic: $300USD for non-academic.

Freehep Name: TCL Version: 7.0 Date: July 1993 Title: An Embeddable Command Language Author(s): John K Ousterhout (UCB) E-mail: ouster@cs.berkeley.edu Contact: ouster@cs.berkeley.edu Subject Areas: graphics_vis_gui News Group or Email: news: comp.lang.tcl Bug Reports to: ouster@cs.berkeley.edu Software Needed: C, X11R4 or X11R5 Hardware Needed: A computer running VMS or UNIX Access: anonymous ftp from sprite.berkeley.edu User Base: Widespread Documentation: Postscript files available from anonymous ftp site Published References: Postscript files available from anonymous ftp site See Also: Tk, tkWWW Abstract: Tcl is an interpreter for a tool command language. It consists of a library package that is embedded in tools (such as editors, debuggers, etc.) as the basic command interpreter. Tcl provides (a) a parser for a simple textual command language, (b) a collection of built-in utility commands, and (c) a C interface that tools use to augment the built-in commands with tool specific commands. Tcl is particularly attractive when integrated with the widget library of a window system: it increases the programmability of the widgets by providing mechanisms for variables, procedures, expressions, etc: it allows users to program both the appearance and the actions of widgets: and it offers a simple but powerful communication mecchanism between interactive programs.

Freehep Name: TK Version: 3.3 Date: Aug. 1993 Title: An X11 Toolkit Based on the Tcl Language Author(s): John K Ousterhout (UCB) E-mail: ouster@cs.berkeley.edu Contact: ouster@cs.berkeley.edu Subject Areas: graphics_vis_gui News Group or Email: news: comp.lang.tcl Bug Reports to: ouster@cs.berkeley.edu Software Needed: C, X11R4 or X11R5 Hardware Needed: A computer running VMS or UNIX Access: anonymous ftp from sprite.berkeley.edu User Base: Widespread Documentation: Postscript files available from anonymous ftp site Published References: Postscript files available from anonymous ftp site See Also: Tcl, tkWWW Abstract: Tk is a new toolkit for X11. The overall functions provided by Tk are similar to those of the standard toolkit Xt. However, Tk is implemented using Tcl, a lightweight interpretive command language. This means that Tk's functions are available not just from C code compiled into the application but also via Tcl commands issued dynamically while the application runs. Tcl commands are used for binding keystrokes and other events onto application-specific actions, for creating and configuring widgets, and for dealing with geometry managers and the selection. The use of an interpretive language means that any aspect of the user interface may be changed dynamically while an application executes. It also means that many interesting applications can be created without writing any new C code, simply by writing Tcl scripts for existing applications. Furthermore, Tk provides a special send command that allows any Tk-based application to invoke Tcl commands in any other Tk-based application. Send allows applications to communicate in more powerful ways than a selection mechanism and makes it possible to replace monolithic applications with collections of reusable tools.

It makes histograms, scatter plots, data points with error bars and plot symbols, curves passing through data points, and elaborate titles. Because of its restricted applicability, Top Drawer can be controlled by a relatively simple set of commands, and this control is further simplified by the choice of reasonable default values for the plot parameters. Despite this emphasis on simplicity, Top Drawer plots are suitable for presentation at conferences and in journals. This represents a remarkable step forward in the preparation of data for publication, which is otherwise a tedious and lengthy process. Even for preliminary work, turning a list of numbers into a graph is so simple that the user is not distracted from the analysis itself.

Energy loss, energy loss fluctuation, and multiple scattering effects are included. The main limitation is that the trajectory is not modified by energy loss. The detector is described in an ascii input file. Layers may be cylinders, disks, or cones. The input file also describes any special materials, and the graphical display of the results. The magnetic field is assumed to be uniform and parallel to the detector symmetry axis.

It displays a variety of information related to issues of parallel program execution (e.g. events associated with message passing). Upshot was inspired by gist, a proprietary tool that was developed to study log files produced on BBN parallel computers and runs only on BBN systems. Compared with gist, upshot provides fewer features: on the other hand, upshot uses color more effectively, provides a smoother scrolling mechanism, is portable, and is freely available. The expected log format is as produced by the alog logging system, but any file in this format will do. Log formats are described in the doc directory.

Abstract: Visajet is a graphical user interface front end to the ISAJET Monte-Carlo. The physicist uses Visajet instead of composing the ASCII file of 'input cards' ISAJET uses for its run parameters. Running VISAJET allows the physicists to see all the options that are available, explore them, glance through defaults values, and change them in preparation of a run. Visajet then allows the physicist to start ISAJET under control of 'Run Panel' and provides graphical routines to visualize the event data as ISAJET is running.

Visual Designer contains over 100 specialized function blocks which are dragged into a diagram, much like creating a flowchart. Function block categories include: Data Acqusition (Analog/Digital Input/Output, Counters...), Control (Import, Export, Call...), File (FileRead, FileWrite...), Display(Chart, XYPlot, Digital Meter...), User Interface(User Prompt, Switchbar...), Measure (Peak, Mean/Sum...), DSP, Memory, Math, Logic, Communications, Convert, Compare, DDE and many more. A developer begins in the Designer part of the software and builds an application by selecting and linking function blocks to build a FlowGram. All design is done through mouse strokes and by entering parameters into intuitive dialog boxes for the blocks. Once created, the application is then RUN to display the real-time data being acquired (or through an existing data file) in a graphical user interface. Parameters can be easily changed and then rerun. We have a demo of Visual Designer on our FTP site: ftp://ftp.instrument.com/pub/demos/desgdemo.zip. We also offer a free evaluation CD (with a 3 minute time limit on the RUN portion). And we offer a greatly reduced price for educators and students.

Abstract: WWF is an efficient generator for the process e~+e~- \to 4 fermions + \gamma through off-shell W pairs. It is based on a full massless matrix element with leading order(m~2) corrections. Only the resonant WW graphs are included. We have tested it against a matrix element without these approximations and found agreement to within ~1% at LEPII energies. An interface to jetset is included. Freehep Name: WWW Version: 1.3b Date: Oct. 1992 Title: World Wide Web Author(s): T. Berners-Lee R Cailliau J.F.

Bardin et. al. Contact: zfitter@cernvm Subject Areas: event_generators, analysis Access: ftp from zfitter.191@cernvm.cern.ch or e-mail to zfitter@cernvm User Base: LEP, etc. Documentation: Preprint CERN-TH 6443/92 Abstract: ZFITTER is a semi-analytical approach to fermion pair production in e+e- annihilation and Bhabha scattering. A flexible treatment of complete O(alpha) QED corrections, also including higher orders, allows for three calculational chains with different realistic sets of restrictions in the photon phase space. ZFITTER consists of several branches with varying assumptions on the underlying hard scattering processes. One includes complete O(alpha) weak loop corrections with a resummation of leading higher order terms. Alternatively, an ansatz inspired from S-matrix theory, or several model independent effective Born cross sections may be convoluted. The program calculates cross sections, forward-backward asymmetries, and for tau pair production also the final-state polarization. Various interfaces allow fits to be preformed with different sets of free parameters.
