✦ Synopsis

The paper presents a C-language program for the irregular close packing of equal hard spheres in a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions using Jodrey and Tory's algorithm. For the nearest-neighbour searching of a given sphere the link-cell method is applied. The progran~has been developed for microcomputers/workstations so that it incorporates the sequential algorithm optimized for computational time demands.
