USCD1209/08
New version differs from previous version in the following features-------------------------------------------------------------------
This version corrects all bugs reported to NNDC as of February 1, 2009 and
supersede all previous releases.
Version 8.01 December 2008 A. Trkov
1. Increased precision of proton mass ratio.
Version 8.00 August 2008 A. Trkov
1. Major updating of the code.
2. Further reduction of non-essential output.
3. Read real variables in double precision to avoid reporting
errors reading small numbers.
4. Implement extended features of the format endorsed by CSEWG.
5. Include corrections to problems identified by A. Koning.
Version 7.04 April 2006 M. Herman
1. 'LB=8 SECTION MISSING' NOT CONSIDERED AN ERROR
Version 7.03 February 2006 M. Herman
1. Increased dimensions for workspace and number of gamma rays

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION
FIZCON can recognise the difference between ENDF-6 and ENDF-5 formats and performs its tests accordingly. Some of the tests performed include:
1. data arrays are in increasing energy order;
2. resonance parameter widths add up to the total;
3. Q-values are reasonable and consistent;
4. no required sections are missing and all cover the proper energy range;
5. secondary distributions are normalized to 1.0;
6. energy conservation in decay spectra.
Optional tests can be performed to check the redundant cross sections, and algorithms can be used to check for possible incorrect entry of data values (Deviant Point test).

14. OTHER PROGRAMMING OR OPERATING INFORMATION OR RESTRICTIONS
In addition to the batch mode version of each program, there are three interactive versions, one for WINDOWS compiled using HP Visual Fortran, one for OpenVMS and one for UNIX compiled using the Lahey Fortran-95 Compiler. These versions prompt the user for each piece of input data instead of reading it from an input file.
