Abstract
We present a code for the QCD-based description of high-energy collisi ons between longitudinally polarized nucleons. This code is based on P YHTIA, a code for the description of unpolarized nucleon-nucleon colli sions. We implemented the polarized cross sections and introduced pola rized distribution functions. Polarized proton-proton collisions will be studied at RHIC (BNL). The implementation of transverse polarizatio n requires fundamental changes in the structure of the code and was no t yet done.
