4 Close Binary System Light Curve Analysis Program
5 ---------------------------------------------------
7 This is a VAX FORTRAN code, written between 1991 and 1993,
8 for close binary system light curve simulation.
9 It consider many effects; the Roche lobe shapes
10 where carefully drawn and a tiny accretion disk is accounted for.
12 The program was written between 1991 and 1993,
13 by Marcello Galli, it consists of about six thousand lines,
14 and run on a VAX/VMS mini computer.
16 It was presented at the poster section of the
17 1993 Italian Astronet Meeting in Trieste,
18 (see Mem. Sait. vol XX,1993), but hadn't
21 The program needed 40 or 60 MBytes of RAM;
22 it was a big number for that days, more than
23 available on many VMS workstations.
24 The trick was to alter the the page file quota
25 for a single process, sometimes causing
