SHELL.DAT (8)

This contains the data on the cylinder and disk distributions in the model cloud

• Number of cylinders, cylinder distribution - The number of cylinders in the cloud and the manner in which they are distributed. There are two entries for the distribution, one in the format needed by Tcl for calculation of the cylinder distributions and one that Tcl uses to create a nice display (this second entry is ignored by the ASTRA program).

• Number of disks, disk distribution - As above except for the disks

• There then follows a list of the cylinder positions and a list of the disk positions.
