This directory currently contains the source code for two
semi-public pieces of software, a MPI version of the SCF
n-body code developed by Hernquist and Ostriker (1992), and
code to generate a realization of a multi-mass King
model for a globular cluster as described in
Sigurdsson (1991) and Sigurdsson and Phinney (1995).
This software is available for use by academic researchers
or people who want to play with these codes for personal
amusement. Any publications or other published research that
makes use of this software or direct derivatives thereof
should acknowledge it, and cite the following references:
