This program is designed to determine the correct parameters of a model atmosphere of a star through iterative refinement and measurements of spectral absorption lines.

**Correction: It appears that what I termed "iterative refinement" has already been named "Predictor-Corrector" by the Mathematical Community.**

Regrettably, this program still depends on a few other programs, namely SuperMONGO (http://www.astro.princeton.edu/~rhl/sm/sm.html though this page is fairly old, you may need to purchase SM) and MOOG (http://www.as.utexas.edu/~chris/moog.html).

The program "mspawn" is also required, I have uploaded this program seperately. To install mspawn, follow these instructions:

MSPAWN
mspawn.tar
In order to get mspawn working correctly you must
change the mspawn72.c file that will untar to match
the location where your files are unzipped to. Then
type the command given in the .c file
