The original files with the data were in different formats. ... Such files were named "standard data files" and linked to the database. They can be easily transformed to any desirable format by a code. Here we present two simple computer programs of this kind. ... When running the code, you can specify columns in the output file: wavelength, energy (eV) or wavenumber (cm -1 ) as the first column, and complex refractive index or dielectric function as the second and third columns. ...

... The defaults for each variable are: MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 StartServers 5 There is an absolute maximum number of simultaneous children defined by a compile-time limit which defaults to 256 and a "MaxClients" directive which specifies the number of simultaneous children that will be allowed. ... If you need more than 256 simultaneous children, you need to modify both HARD_SERVER_LIMIT and MaxClients. In versions before 1.2, HARD_SERVER_LIMIT defaulted to 150. ...
