Contributions

The coding of SPECTRA has been done in close contact with the scientists. I am grateful to many of them for the discussions about the features of the program and for their patience while testing the code. Especially W. Drube contributed a lot of valuable suggestions for improvements. I also thank him for reading the manual. Th. Ohlow coded the interpreter of the control commands. R. Frahm and M. Joppien made contributions to the features of SPECTRA and the manual. T. Schmidt wrote the code which does the FIO I/O. A. Buttkewitz helped me in finding the proper layout for the graphical representation of the data. D. Hupfeld contributed many good suggestions which enhanced the performance of the on-line code.
