A coupled-channel code to calculate nuclear cross sections, OPTMAN, has been improved after OPTMAN version 8 was published as 
JAERI-Data/code 2005-002. The most important addition is the inclusion of dispersive relationships between imaginary and real
parts of the optical potential within a Lane consistent formalism. The obtained coupled-channels optical model potentials allow
for the description of nucleon induced reactions up to 200 MeV, including (p,n) reactions with excitation of isobaric analog
states. Relativistic corrections consistent with those used in the ECIS06 code are also added.
