DDSCAT.5a10

DDSCAT.5a10 differs from DDSCAT.5a9 in two respects:

• The public-domain LAPACK code has been replaced by the latest routines obtained from NETLIB (http://www.netlib.org). Subroutine PRINAXIS did not function properly when the older LAPACK routines were compiled using the g77 compiler, most likely due to some variable not being SAVE-d. The new LAPACK code appears to execute properly.
• A new shape option - NSPHER - has been added, permitting a target to be defined as the union of the volumes of an arbitrary number of spheres. The locations and radii of the NSPH spheres are input via a file. Adding this option required the argument list of subroutine TARGET to be changed, and modifications were also made to subroutines REAPAR and REASHP.
