A critical review was undertaken of the methods for calculating partial level densities to be used in pre-equilibrium model calculations. A code for a com­binatorial calculation of particle-hole state densities, based on a convolution of shell-model single particle-states with BCS pairing, is included in RIPL-2 along with the corresponding tools for retrieving single-particle levels from Segment I. The most useful analytical approaches in the frame of the equidis­tant single-particle model are implemented in the revised AVRIGEANU code [12]. The finite hole-depth and binding energy restrictions are taken into account in these calculations.
