PARMILA (Phase And Radial Motion in Ion Linear Accelerators) is a drift-tube linac (DTL) ion-beam dynamics code. Over its long life, many versions have developed. The Los Alamos Accelerator Code Group distributes a version, for which a manual is available. Unless otherwise specified, all mentions of PARMILA in this document refer to that LAACG-distributed version. Until recently, this documented and distributed version functioned only under CTSS. Users who wished to run on a different operating system needed to convert the code themselves. PARMILA now operates under UNICOS, a much more widely available CRAY operating system, and under VAX/VMS. This paper describes some new features of the code, and gives directions for obtaining the manual and the UNICOS and VMS versions of the code.
