This report documents the work done by X-6, HSE-6, and CTR Technical Services to produce a comprehensive working cross-section library for MCNP-4 suitable for SUN workstations and similar environments. The resulting library consists of a total of 436 files (one file for each ZAID). The library is 152 Megabytes in Type 1 format and 32 Megabytes in Type 2 format. Type 2 can be used when porting the library from one computer to another of the same make. Otherwise, Type 1 must be used to ensure portability between different computer systems. Instructions for installing the library and adding ZAIDs to it are included here. Also included is a description of the steps necessary to install and test version 4 of MCNP. To improve readability of this report, certain commands and filenames are given in uppercase letters. The actual command or filename on the SUN workstation, however, must be specified in lowercase letters. Any questions regarding the data contained in the library should be directed to X-6 and any questions regarding the installation of the library and the testing that was performed should be directed to HSE-6. 9 refs., 7 tabs.
