INP

   INP=(file,file2)   Input IBIS interface file for data, and guess-solution


DATACOL

   DATACOL=(N1,...,Nj) The   integers   N1,...,Nj  specify   the 
                      columns  which contain the data  for  the 
                      non-linear function.  Each row contains 
                      one data point.


DEPCOL

   DEPCOL=M1          The integer M1  specifies   the columns
                      which contain the data  for  the 
                      dependent variable.  Each row contains 
                      one data point.


COEFFCOL

   COEFFCOL=(N1,...,Nk) The   integers   N1,...,Nk  specify   the 
                      columns  which will receive the coefficients
                      of the solution for use in applying to
                      other operations in the IBIS file (for example
                      a slope or trend of some data points can be
                      found and the slope can be applied to other
                      data).  If this parameter is omitted,  
		      then no residuals are stored.
		      
		      Note that there is a lot of repetition of the
		      coefficients in the columns, but this allows
		      the coefficients to be used in a row-oriented
		      arithmetic operation by routine MF.


RESCOL

   RESCOL=R1          The  integer R1 specifies the  column which 
                      will  receive the residuals corresponding 
		      to the dependent variables for each data
		      point.  If this parameter is omitted,  
		      then no residuals are stored.


CONCOL

   CONCOL=C           The integer C specifies a control column 
                      which produces a separate fit for each 
                      group of identical numbers in the control 
                      column.  If this keyword is omitted, then 
                      the whole file is processed in one least 
                      squares fit.


NOPRINT

    'NOPRINT	      Keyword to suppress printout of solution.
