The SLAC Electron Trajectory Program is described and instructions and examples for users are given. The program is specifically written to solve electron trajectories in electrostatic and magnetostatic focusing systems. All equations are relativistic and self-magnetic field effects are included. Starting options include Child's Law conditions on cathodes of various shapes. Either rectangular or cylindrically symmetric geometry may be used. The program is in FORTRAN IV and is used on an IBM 360-57 computer. (auth)
