A normal-mode program for a sound-speed profile of an arbitrary number of layers has been constructed. It has been used extensively and successfully for 12 years to compute sound propagation in idealized underwater acoustic ducts. Documentation is contained for those who wish to use or modify this program. The FORTRAN statements are given for both the normal-mode and a mode-follower program. The numerical anaysis necessary for computing modified Hankel functions of order 1/3 is given. The analysis includes a continued fraction technique. (Author).
