mktestdisk - make uniform-density test disk in spheroid 
mktestdisk
out=out_file [parameter=value] ... 
mktestdisk sets up a cold disk
of test particles orbiting in the gravitational field of a user-supplied
spheroid. 
The following parameters are recognized. 
- in=in_file     
- Spheroid
snapshot(5NEMO)
 input file. Default: required. 
- out=out_file 
- Write to out_file
in snapshot(5NEMO)
 form. Default: required. 
- rmin=min_disk_radius 
- Inner cutoff
radius of test-particle disk. Default: 0.1. 
- rmax=max_disk_radius 
- Outer cutoff
radius of test-particle disk. Default: 0.4. 
- eps=softening_parameter 
- Force softening,
used when computing circular velocities. Default: 0.0. 
- ndisk=num_bodies 
- Number
of disk particles. Default: 2048. 
- ncenter=num_center 
- If positive, the first
num_center spheroid particles define the center of the test disk. Default:
0. 
- seed=random_seed 
- Usual random number seed. Default: 54321. 
- headline=message
- Text headline for output. Default: none.
