Steady-State Monte Carlo

Run loop that launches and propagates photons.

The programming that launches and propagates each photon through the tissue is enclosed within a DO-WHILE LOOP which launches N photons (N = Nphotons).

/**** RUN
   Launch N photons, initializing each one before progation.
*****/
do {

          /* PROGRAM SITS WITHIN THIS DO-WHILE LOOP THAT LAUNCHES N PHOTONS */

  /* If photon dead, then launch new photon. */
} /* end RUN */
while (i_photon < Nphotons);
