CD-ROMs 1 and 15 contain all of my line data, 58 million lines, packed
16 bytes per line.  They have been distributed to supernova modelers,
interiors modelers, envelope modelers, diffusion modelers, and stellar
atmosphere modelers.  I can use them to compute opacity-sampled model
atmospheres, to compute complete spectra, and to tabulate Rosseland and
wavelength dependent opacities.  Found in directory LINELISTS.
 
CD-ROMs 2-8 and 14 are distribution function line opacities for scaled
solar abundances ranging from [+1.0] down to [-5.0] for microturbulent
velocities 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 km/s.  These serve as input for my model
atmosphere program ATLAS9 which is distributed on CD-ROM 13.  These
9MB and 34MB binary files are found in directory OPACITIES.

CD-ROMs 9-12 are alpha-enhanced opacities for Population II stars with
the alpha-process elements (O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, Ca ad Ti) enhanced by
0.4 in the log relative to the Fe abundance.   These 9MB and 34MB binary
files are found in directory OPACITIES.
 
CD-ROM 13 contains my model atmosphere and abundance analysis programs
ATLAS9, BALMER9, WIDTH9 found in directory PROGRAMS;
Rosseland opacities found in directory OPACITIES;
Grids of models with Vturb = 2 km/s for abundances [+1.0], [+0.5],
[+0.3], [+0.2], [+0.1], [+0.0], [-0.1], [-0.2], [-0.3], [-0.5], [-1.0],
[-1.5], [-2.0], [-2.5], [-3.0], [-3.5], [-4.0], [-4.5], [-5.0];
fluxes from .009 to 160 micrometers for each model;
Balmer line profiles for each model;
Cousins, DDO, Geneva, Hbeta, JHKcit, RIJKL, UBV, uvby, uvbyCa, VBLUW,
Vilnius colors for each model including reddening.  All found in directory GRIDS.
 
CD-ROMs 16 and 17 have the limb-darkening for the grids on CD-ROM 13.
Found in directory GRIDS.
 
CD-ROM 18 contains my spectrum synthesis programs ATLAS7V, SYNTHE,
SPECTRV, ROTATE, BROADEN, PLOTSYN, etc. and sample runs found in directory 
PROGRAMS;
Atomic line data files BELLHEAVY.DAT, BELLLIGHT.DAT, GFIRONLAB.DAT,
GULLIVER.DAT, NLTELINES.DAT, GFIRONQ.DAT, obsolete, merged into GFALL,
found in directory LINELISTS:
Molecular line data files C2AX.ASC, C2BA.ASC, C2DA.ASC, C2EA.ASC,
CNAX.ASC, CNBX.ASC, COAX.ASC, COXX.ASC, H2.ASC, HYDRIDES.ASC, SIOAX.ASC,
SIOEX.ASC, SIOXX.ASC, found in directory LINELISTS;
and my solar flux atlas for test calculations SOLARFLUX.ASC.  Found in 
directory SUN.
 
CD-ROM 19 is like CD-ROMs 13, 16, and 17 but for 5 microturbulent
velocities at [+0.0].  Found in directory GRIDS.

CD-ROMs 20-22 provide the details of the iron group calculations that
formerly were distributed on 28 magnetic tapes.  This information is
useful for generating model atoms for non-LTE calculations of
supernovas or hot dwarfs, for example.  Found in directory ATOMS.
 
CD-ROM 23 has all the atomic line data with good wavelengths in one
large file and in one file for each species.  The big file is also
divided into 10 nm and 100 nm sections for convenience.  Also given
are hyperfine line lists for neutral Sc, V, Mn, and Co that were
produced by splitting all the energy levels for which laboratory data
are available (only a small fraction).  Found in directory LINELISTS.

 
     I expect to produce the following CDs in the near future:
 
Model Atmosphere Grids: [-0.5a],[+0.0a],[+0.5a] 2 km/s for bulge stars.

ATLAS12 opacity sampling model atmosphere program.  Found in directory 
PROGRAMS.

An improved version of SYNTHE spectrum synthesis program.  Found in 
directory PROGRAMS.

A program ROSSSYNTHE that generates Rosseland opacity directly from the 
     line list for arbitrary abundances on a workstation instead of a Cray.

A program DFSYNTHE that generates opacity distribution functions directly 
     from the line list for arbitrary abundances on a workstation instead 
     of a Cray.  Will be found in directory PROGRAMS.

 
     I plan to produce the following CDs as an ongoing program:
 
All new atomic and molecular calculations as they are made.

Model Atmosphere Grids: [-1.0a],[-1.5a],[-2.0a] 2 km/s.

OLD ERRORS:
 
CDROM1.  Two small files were not transfered from the Cray to the
Vax but have now been added.  In LOWLINES.DAT predicted KP lines
of light elements were left out and probably do not matter.  In
HILINES.DAT the lines between known levels were left out.  They
are only a small fraction of the total, but many are resonance
lines, so this is a serious error.  These errors were not present
in the opacity calculations done on the Cray, CDROM2 to CDROM13.
 
CDROM16 and 17, early versions.  When the computation does not
start at the first wavelength, sometimes the intensities are stored
starting at the first wavelength.  Code like this will work for all
cases:
                DO 90 I=1,200
                IF(CENTI(1221).GT.0.)GO TO 100
                DO 80 NU=1221,2,-1
             80 CENTI(NU)=CENTI(NU-1)
             90 CENTI(1)=0.
            100 CONTINUE
 
 
At present each CD-ROM costs about $10 to produce plus one hour of
my time.  If the files you want are too big for you to FTP and they
are on a CD, ask for the CD.  There is no charge and nothing is
required in exchange.
