Franz Klein's proposal for new monte carlo bank:

Hi folks,

I made a BOS bank that contains all parameters that are probably
set via FFKEY (ffread cards) and probably the input file for
options lizin,mcin,lundin (depending on 'ikine'(=1,2,5,11,12,15)).

I changed the ffread cards (up to 12 chars) in order to have
names that are more appropriate but you can still use the
known short (4 chars long) card names because only the
first 4 characters are checked when reading the cards.
(That may be changed if you want!)

The only cards where I changed the first 4 characters (that are
relevant when reading in these cards):

   EC1ATTENUAT    was  AEC1
   EC1THRESHOLD   was  TEC1
   EC1DELAY       was  DEC1
   EC1PHOTOELEC   was  PEC1
   EC1REFLECT     was  REC1
   EC1CH2ADC      was  KEC1

Greetings,
Franz
 

The format definition of the parameter bank is quite simple:

!-----------------------------------------------------------------------
!       BANKname BANKtype      ! Comments
 TABLE  GPAR          ! create write display delete !  input parameter bank for gsim
!
!  save input parameters (float OR int values (char as ascii))
!  (special codes: fval=1111.0  -> ival=ascii;
!                  fval=-1111.0 -> ival=logical(-1=T,0=F))
!   ATTributes:
!   -----------
!COL ATT-name FMT Min    Max   ! Comments

  1  fval     F  -1000000.    10000000.  ! float value
  2  ival     I  -1000000     10000000   ! int value
