*    The distributions are obtained by calling the subroutine

*  OUTPUT: the subroutine returns the NUCLEAR RATIOS
*               R_f(x,Q,A) = f_A(x,Q)/f_p(x,Q)
*  where f_A corresponds the pdf of a parton of flavour f in a proton of a
*  nucleus A, and f_p is the corresponding pdf in the free proton.

*  Heavy flavor quarks are not considered in the analysis. The 
*  "nuclear ratio" in the neutron can be obtained by isospin symmetry,
*   i.e. RUV_proton=RDV_neutron, etc
*                                                                            
*  COMMON:  The main program or the calling routine has to have    
*            a common block  COMMON / INTINPDF / IINPDF , and the     
*            integer variable  IINPDF  has always to be zero when    
*            nDS is called for the first time or when  ISET     
*            has been changed.
