mkpolytrope - make N-body model of generalized polytrope 
mkpolytrope
 out=out_file [parameter=value] ... 
mkpolytrope generates an N-body
realization of one of Henon’s generalized polytropes.  At present, only the
polytrope n = 1, m = -1 is supported. 
The following parameters
are recognized. 
- out=out_file 
- Write to out_file in snapshot(5NEMO)
 format.
No default. 
- nbody=num_bodies 
- Number of particles to generate.  Default: 512.
- n=E_exponent 
- Exponent of energy in distribution function.  This can be a
real-valued expression. Default: 1. 
- m=J_exponent 
- Exponent of angular momentum.
 This can be a real-valued  expression. Default: -1. 
- seed=random_seed 
- Seed
for random number generator.  Default: 0. 
- headline=message 
- Message prepended
to out_file.  Default: none.
