It consists of Introduction, 7 Chapters  and Appendix.   Chapters describe actual parameters as arranged into segments/directories of the RIPL Starter File, Appendix includes the list of files in the Starter File and reproduces (hardcopy version only) 2 important papers devoted to optical model. The available electronically in LaTeX and PostScript formats, will be published also as a hardcopy (IAEA TECDOC series, expected to appear by the end of 1998).
