... This will override any automatic tape changing that is going on and will reset the reference time for any following automatic tape changes. If no argument is given, the tape will be changed at all stations. If a list of stations is given, the tapes will only be changed at those stations; if a station is given that is not in the scan, an error message will be generated and SCHED will abort. ... Options: No argument or a list of any stations in the scan. ... Automatic tape changes by default. ...

... To avoid extensive numerical calculations in the statistical simulations, we treat the continuous evolution of each binary component as a sequence of a finite number of basic evolutionary states (for example, main sequence, red (super)giant, helium (Wolf-Rayet) star,     hot WD), in which stellar parameters significantly differ from each other. ... Figure 2: Schematic representation of the typical evolutionary track of a massive binary system with normal and compact star stages indicated. ...
