Description:
    Effective collision strengths for transitions between 52 fine
    structure states calculated in a Breit-Pauli approximation are
    provided in ups.dat. Results are provided for logT in the range of
    3.0-7.4 in steps of 0.1. The level indices refer to the ordering given
    in Table 2 text where the energies are also given. The format is most
    easily described by the fortran program provided - readups.f - which
    may be used to interface with user programs. Oscillator strengths for
    all dipole allowed transitions are provided in osc.dat which are also
    indexed with respect to Table 2.
