Both programs can determine atomic mass dependent Born-Oppenheimer and JWKB breakdown corrections. A--doubling correction parameter expansions (in the parameter-fit program) or radial correction functions (in the potential fit) program may also be determined. For each electronic state involved in the data set, program DSParFit (for Diatomic Singlet Parameter Fitting'') allows the observed level energies to be represented in three ways: (i) by band constants'', a set of $\{G_{v}$, $B_{v}$, $D_{v}$, $H_{v}$, $\cdots \}$ and A--doubling parameters $\{q_{B}(v)$, $q_{D}(v)$, $\cdots \}$ for each vibrational level of each isotopomer; (ii) by Dunham-type double power series expansions in $(v + \frac{1}{2})$ and $[J(J + 1) - \Omega^{2}]$, and (iii) by near-dissociation expansions'' for the vibrational energies and rotational constants, which incorporate their theoretically-known limiting near-dissociation behaviour. The two latter choices implicitly incorporate standard first-order mass scaling for multiple isotopomers, while atomic mass dependent Born-Oppenheimer breakdown corrections are included as additive correction terms. Program DSPotFit (for Diatomic Singlet Potential Fitting'') allows a choice of several different flexible analytic functions to represent the potential energy curve for each electronic state involved in the data set. Born-Oppenheimer breakdown adiabatic'' potential correction functions and non-adiabatic'' centrifugal correction functions, as well as radial functions to repesent A--doubling perturbation corrections may also be determined. The fitting procedure for this case involves exact (numerical) solution of the radial Schr\""odinger equation for the upper and lower level of each state involved in each transition included in the data set, for each iteration of the fit which optimizes the parameters defining the potential.
