The program McBook can be used to make a book of tables of x-ray 
 cross-sections, much like the McMaster tables book, only readable. 

 The program writes out a bunch of files in plain TeX format, one for
 each element and a main TeX file called mcbook.tex. After compiling,
 linking, and running the program, type "tex mcbook.tex" to convert 
 all the TeX files to a binary file called mcbook.dvi. This file can
 then be sent to an output device like a printer, though often an 
 intermediate step (like converting to Postscript) is required.
 Consult your local TeX wizard for help. 

 McBook was written by Matt Newville at the University of Washington,
 and uses the subroutine MUCAL which holds all the important x-ray
 cross-section information from the tables of McMaster, et al. The 
 MUCAL subroutine was written by Pathikrit Bandyopadhyay at the 
 University of Notre Dame, and is also available as a computer
 program, which is often more convenient than a hard copy.
