The National Nuclear Data Center maintains and distributes various programs in support of the International Atomic Energy Agency sponsored Nuclear Structure and Decay Data Network. These programs generally use as input files in the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF) format.[1]

General Information

A brief description of the programs is given in the PDF file distrm-mem.pdf and the current status of the programs is available in CODE_STATUS.HTML.

Each program, associated test input and output files, and documentation is contained in its own subdirectory. If the source program is ANSI-standard FORTRAN 77 or FORTRAN 90/95, it will also reside in this subdirectory with an FOR or F or F90 mime type, respectively. Below this subdirectory will be up to FOUR subdirectories:
ANS If the program contains FORTRAN 77 or FORTRAN 90/95 extensions, the ANSI standard version of the source program resides here.
VAX OpenVMS executable and source program if there are FORTRAN 77 or FORTRAN 90/95 extensions.
WIN or Win32 Windows 95+ executable and source program (HP/Compaq/Digital Visual FORTRAN) if there are FORTRAN 77 or FORTRAN 90/95 extensions.
Linux, Unix, or UNX Linux or Unix executable and source program (GNU f77 FORTRAN, INTEL FORTRAN 90, or Lahey/Fujitsu FORTRAN 95) if there are FORTRAN 77 or FORTRAN 90/95 extensions.
Each of these subdirectories will also contain a self-extracting archive or a archive file containing all the necessary components for that platform (e.g., ALPHAD_ANS.ZIP, ALPHAD_VMS.EXE, ALPHAD_UNX.ZIP, and ALPHAD_WIN.EXE, respectively). Documentation is in the form of ASCII text (*.ME, *.MEM, *.TXT), HTML-formated (*.HTML), PostScript files (*.PS), or Portable Document Format files (*.PDF). Most of the programs require the subroutine library NSDFLIB. In addition, DATA.TST is the test input file for several of the programs. The program SETMDC may be used to convert programs containing machine-dependent coding from one compiler version to another.
