WHAT(1)
   = 0 always                                           
     WHAT(2-6) = not used                                           
     
SDUM
      = biological data file name (10 character long) the file must be 
                 named <sdum>.dat

     
Default
   = no default

     The (formatted) file must contain the Alpha and Beta parameters for a
     linear-quadratic cell survival curve for the various particles involved in the
     simulation. It must be organized as follows (all values are read with
     free format):

     First  line: Alpha (Gy^-1) and Beta (Gy^-2) for X-rays
     Second line: number of ions species N_ion (charges) which follows,
                  the data for the 1st ion are supposed to be for Z=1,
                  those of the i_th for Z=i etc.
     N_ion times:
                  number N_e of kinetic energy per nucleon or LET values
                  (see later) of the tabulation
                  N_e times:
                             3 values: kinetic energy per nucleon (MeV/n) or
                             LET (keV/um) and the corresponding Alpha and
                             Beta values for this ion
     A last line (optional) with ENERGY or LET indicating whether the
     tabulated values are as a function of kinetic energy per nucleon
     or LET (default kinetic energy per nucleon)
