Previous: Using a Single-star Configuration
  Contents
When constructing an irrotational binary, the code takes a spherical
single-star model and deforms it into a triaxial ellipsoid. To do so,
the code reads from a file named axes1.sph an ASCII list of
three integers, representing the deformation in the three principal
directions (it reads from axes2.sph as well if you declare the
binary contains stars of unequal-mass). This file will also be created
by testinput for your convenience. See Sec. 4.4 for
more info.
