Abstract
Physics and programming aspects are discussed for a Fortran 77 Monte C arlo program to simulate complete events in deep inelastic lepton-nucl eon scattering. The parton level interaction is based on the standard model electroweak cross sections, which are fully implemented in leadi ng order for any lepton of arbitrary polarization, and different param etrizations of parton density functions can be used. First order QCD m atrix elements for gluon radiation and boson-gluon fusion are implemen ted and higher order QCD radiation is treated using parton showers. Ha dronization is performed using the Lund string model, implemented in J ETSET/PYTHIA. Rapidity gap events are generated through a model based on soft colour interactions.
