FERD-PC is a modified version of the unfolding code FERD, rewritten in Microsoft FORTRAN and optimized for use on an IBM-PC or compatible computer. It can be used to correct observed pulse-height distributions for the nonideal response of a pulse-height spectrometer and has been successfully applied to the analysis of data from the Tower Shielding Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Modifications to the original code have been incorporated to optimize program execution and run time, while still maintaining most input and output options supported by the original code. In addition, several changes have been made to include an interactive binning code, a flux integration code, and a plotting utility, which supports enhanced color graphics (EGA) and a HP 7475A or equivalent plotter. This manual describes these changes and enhancements, and covers essential information to set up and run FERD-PC. Sample problems are included to illustrate input and output procedures using various options of the code. 4 refs., 13 figs.
