ABAREX:

ABAREX is a very effective neutron spherical optical-statistical-model code that has found wide application in both applied and basic neutron physics. It is fast and is now effectively implemented on simple Personal Computers (PC's). It has unusual, and in some cases unique, capabilities that should not vanish as time passes and personnel leave the field.

Platform and Compiler Information

ABAREX is written in ANSI FORTRAN-77, with several VAX (IBM) extensions. It is explicitly formulated for VAX/VMS systems and IBM-compatible personal computers (PCs). Source compilation and linking should use VMS FORTRAN-77 on VAX's and on Alpha's running OpenVMS. For the PC, either the Lahey or Microsoft FORTRAN-77 can be used, and very possible other PC FORTRAN compilers. The Lahey compiler has a VAX/VMS switch ("/V") which should be used. The program has been extensively employed on VAX work stations and central facilities and with 286, 386, 486, and Pentium PC's. See the manual for more information.
