Content
--------
The file contains the fortan program to estimate nuclear masses with the 10 
parameter formula of J. Duflo and A.P. Zuker [1]. In this approach, the nuclear
hamiltonian is separated into a monopole term, and a residual multipole term.
The monopole term is responsible for saturation and  single-particle properties,
and fitted phenomenologically. The multipole part is derived from  realistic
interactions. The current version of the mass formula made of 10 free parameters
reproduces the 1950 experimental masses above He4 with an rms error of 574 keV.


Format
------
Plain ASCII file with the FORTRAN source.
