Magnetic Field Computation

English / Japanese

The computation code for solar magnetic fields which I have been developing is almost ready for distribution. The present release is for unix systems. The force-free field part is still under testing and the code is not yet versatile enough for general use, but a preliminary instruction manual is attached.

After you uncompress and retrieve the original source files, follow the instructions given in a file doc/install.doc. Manuals are located under doc/ with the names *.{doc,sj,euc}. Files with extensions sj and euc are documents in Japanese. Before you start using the code, please read Readme.doc and credit.doc.

There might be some inconsistencies between the instructions and what the code actually does. Your comments are welcome in order to improve the code and the instruction manual.
