Abstract
The Monte Carlo program KORALW version 1.02 for W-pair production is p resented. Its main features are: multiple initial state photonic radia tion with finite transverse photon momenta generated according to the Yennie-Frautschi-Suura Monte Carlo technique and massive kinematics fo r all final particles. Matrix element features second-order leading-lo garithmic initial-state QED corrections.The dedicated semi-analytical program KORWAN, with structure-function based leading-logarithmic init ial-state photonic radiation up to third order, is also included in th e distribution package.
