     The included software must be accompanied by the intact directory 
     structure and its contents, including a copy of the each of the 
     following files in each directory:

     These restrictions are asserted in order to guarantee that users are
     informed of the contents of this file, and that all supporting code 
     required to operate the HAMSCATT software are present.  This package 
     does not provide any portion of the IRAF IMFORT interface, which must 
     be provided by the local site.
