The full manual of ROSEF Version .0 User’s guide (pdf/Word files of 48 pages) is available.  The source codes written in Fortran90 (a self-decompressing file) will be obtained upon request to the author by e-mail.  It is convenient to decompress the file in a special file folder since you will have as many as 46 files.  The following are the contents of the manual.
